This Divine Place

 

 

 

 

This Divine Place

Free… flowing, free… feeling, free…being,
freedom.
I’ve crossed a threshold,
walked through a door
that I didn't know existed.
It wasn’t locked, but it does have a key -
the permeation of omniscient love
deeper and deeper into my core.
Unconditional love,
experienced unconditionally.
My footsteps echo as I step into, and away.
I gaze around this new room
with an understanding that it
may take time for my eyes,
my body, my spirit to adjust.
But just the stepping in
opens the way to a more clear image
of the majesty of the castle, whole.
Stale fears make an attempt to visit,
but they really don’t have a place here.
I straighten my spine,
fill my lungs and
walk farther in.
I feel flooded with warmth,
healing, and relief.
There are other things happening
within this place
that are beyond my words,
but I know they are good
and right.
I see a comfy chair with a soft pillow
and, for now,
I think I’ll take a seat
and simply enjoy the peace,
the space,
 the freedom in
this divine place.
