The spectacular shadows cast by my own light

A thousand wings
Butterflies
Dancing in the wind,
Freedom and joy
Too sublime to contain.

Crashing oceans
Of pain heaving
Against the rocky craigs
Of my mind,
Bone deep suffering.

I am shadow,
I am light,
Held in duality,
Urged to accept
My own complexities.

I am.
I am weak,
Fear riding me like a master
I can not shake.

I am strength,
I am held in possibility,
Truth ebbing and flowing
Like a Chinook breeze
On a cold winter day.

Neither just shadow
Nor just light,
A mingling of truths
Of life and death.

Stop gathering
Should
Can't
Won't
Must.
Allow more.

Be inspiration,
And be inspired,
Love and accept love,
Give and receive,
Endeavor to be ALL your truth.

Do not cage yourself
In a concept
Of perfection
No one has
Or can be.

Allow,
Just allow
The all that you are
To graze
The waters of now.

Here and Now
Be all things
To all people
By being
The truth of all
That you are.
