SOUL & ALL

Goodbye to another time
Letting go of what was
Accepting what is
Learning a new way to give

To embrace the differences
Never yielding the essence of self
Loving the whole
Without sacrificing the soul

One longs for understanding
At a depth that is yet to come
To stay in the moment, connected
Gratitude for all that was & is & shall be
For those paths have lead us to this moment

Seeing the blessings through the tragic
Knowing the flow ever goes on
Opening eyes much wider than before
Surrounding the self with most positive
Of this life force before us

And so it comes to a close
Yet a new beginning opens up
Cycles flowing onward as it always has been
Continuing on in the great dimension we share
Laying all to rest that which was bared
Soul & all come to know the blessings in you
This I have found to be so true
