Mystic colors strike my naked skin
Beams of warm light penetrate me
The power of this unconditional
love overcomes me. I’m emboldened
to rise and set myself free. Free of
the chains that imprisoned me. I
now dance to the light emitted by the
chandelier hovering over me. The
beauty lives and brightens the night.
It takes my hand and guides me to
release the pain that captured me.
Encourages me to dance and feel the
glory of the energy buried in me.
Today is my birth, the day I re-enter
the world, the day that I am able to
live my life, the life I want it to be.
