To be afraid of solitude is to fear one’s sacred truth
For only within the silent avenues of the mind
Can one discover the pathway to the soul
Fear not, step within
Ease open the doorway to the inner garden and reveal the seasons of the self
For here lies a landscape of scattered whispers, obscure reflections and
Unopened love letters from the messenger of the soul
Behold the well of mystery within and dive deep to the undercurrents
Within the shadows of the waters that hold the grit and the grief
Drift into the ripples of a hidden world and merge with the dark echoes
Sink deeper within the healing rhythms of stillness
And become the pulse of each life-giving heartbeat
Wander in the twilight mood as the breath dances with the contours of conscience
And communes with the woes of the soul
Dig deep to the roots of disbelief and tend to the thorns that wound
For here the most precious of elixirs will be unearthed
That of tender love and compassion for the self
Be still to reveal the delicate musings of the spirit with the divine
Feed the urgent callings from the wilderness with seeds of trust
And patience of grace
Rouse the soul in the essence of the awakened union
For only upon nurtured territory can one sow the dreams of purpose
And reap the veritable fragrance of life
When leaving the sanctuary, do not close the doorway
Let the branches of insight weave and colour their way into the daylight
Set the intuition free to roam, lead and surprise
And trust that it will guide the way home.
