Expanding Faith

Expanding Faith

Softly, more softly she settles,
trusting that whatever she feels
is rightful
 and hers.
One strong, residual strand
of the tether that held her back
weakens all the way,
releases –
the one that made her
feel wrong for needing help.
She finds herself gently reaching,
though she knows not what for,
then realizes it doesn’t matter.
In moments of profound healing
whatever happens simply does –
to her, with her, for her.
There's no need to try so hard,
nothing that needs doing 
other than allow and accept.
Another turning point,
she feels her cells shimmer,
as the once persistent
sense of jeopardy slides away.
She breathes deep a curative breath,
slowly lets it weave around and through
that which has sparked within.
Her vapors
fan those inner embers once again,
but this time
 she doesn’t feel constriction
 or any need to hold back.
Carefree and peaceful
she breathes again,
and again,
and again.
Pristine energy
deeper safety, definitive support
partner this liberation.
Heartened by a continually
 expanding faith
in unconditional Love,
her inner compass orients
 to the fuller and fuller flowing
of the truth of her being,
