So long
have I turned in fear.
My back to
it I could not see
The roar of
flames could I hear
No escape,
it seemed for me.
Darkness
beckoned,
Despair
loomed,
Fire or
nothing,
I seemed
doomed.
So long
have I turned from fear,
But some
small courage stirred within,
So I turned
towards my rear,
Confronting
that which seared my skin.
Fire
beckoned,
Heat
consumed,
Blinded by
light,
Again still
doomed.
So long
have I turned from fear,
To die, I
must? Let it be here,
No longer
will I run from that,
Unseen
force once on my back.
I will face
this powerful foe,
Even if it
be my woe,
Better to
die at this powers hands,
Then end my
life in those dark lands.
I opened my
eyes, looked on my fate,
I screamed
with all my rage and hate.
The fire
grew stronger with all my rage,
Till I was
surrounded by a flaming cage.
My rage did
die, I accepted my end,
But to my
wonder the fire did bend,
Before me, a
figure, clad in flame,
He beckoned
towards me and spoke my name.
“I am Greatness”
he said to me,
“Strength
and Purity, all one can be”
As he
approached the flames, now ember,
What I saw
I will always remember.
I saw
myself, my full potential,
Standing
before me in all his glory,
This next
part he said was essential,
To pass on
to all his message and story.
So long
have I chased you,
But you
could not see,
That you
were always running,
From all that
you could be.
So long
have I turned from fear,
Fearing
that which mattered most,
My full
potential lay so near,
But I had
feared to be his host.
No longer
will we fear our demons,
They only
exist in those dark lands,
No demon
survives within the light,
Its power
and strength are far too bright,
Face your
fears, become your all,
No longer
cower, stand up tall,
Find within,
your greatest wealth,
To be your
True, Authentic Self.
