My Own Flame
by Alison McKenzieI am my own flame,
Ignited by the passion
Burning in the center of my being.
I miss you,
But I will survive this
Abandonment.
Today, I am safe.
Today, I am loved
From the inside out
By myself
And Divinity.
I miss you
But your presence
Is not required.
Today, my path is before me.
Today, I am caressed
By the wind and
The fragrant vapors
Of celestial influence.
Yes, I miss you -
Your touch, your smile,
Your reassuring conversations -
But I will live to tell.
I am courted by voices
More elevated than our own,
Cleansing the way to enlightenment.

From the inside out
By myself
And Divinity." Yes!

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere. ~Agnes Repplier |
