Day 117 or 400, "Birth"

Today is the day of my physical birth,
A day when Spring filled the Earth.

And with my physical eyes open wide,
my spiritual eyes I did hide.

I took in a breath that made me cry,
as my spirit went deep inside.

And as my mind and body grew
nature was there to show me through.

The body young and vibrant in its days,
now grows old in many ways.

My mind full of consciousness,
notices this with fullness and bliss.

And I know that as I age,
I will know the inner sage.

A Sage that understands the joys of life,
and will live in harmony along with strife.

Not to overcome the things that I physically see,
but to overcome the things inside of me.

For those things hidden deep within,
are really the things that bring us to our end.

So with my eyes open wide,
I welcome the spiritual side.

And with each and every breath I know,
in this physical life I do grow.

Awareness is more than the things I see,
it's the things I release deep inside of me.

Attached is the way we come into this life,
attached to our mothers until they cut it with a knife.

Willingness is not an option at that moment and time,
but soon you realize that you'll be fine.

Releasing the womb all cozy and safe from harm,
now entering into this world with frailing arms.

Kicking and screaming wanting to go back,
but to what one must ask.

I remember a time of peace and darkness upon my face,
and where is that light that brought me love and grace.

I hear voices that are foreign to my ears,
but one voice I hear brings me to tears.

The voice of my mother I sought with all my might,
for she is the one that brought me in with light.

It is through the grace of love,
that our souls come in like doves.

And our spirits are no long soring above,
but now deep within our hearts full of love.

So on this spring day of my birth,
I say thank you to the earth.

For it is here that I have learned and grown,
and remembered what I've always known.

That love is more than a word that we speak,
but an action that we much seek.

This seeking can take years and many lifes to see,
but what you must remember it is always within thee.

And unlike the baby kicking and screaming entering into this plane,
all of which is done in vain,

I sit quietly and say not a word,
for this is when spirit is truly heard.

With my eyes open wide,
my spiritual side I do not hide,

For it is through this awareness,
that I find true bliss.

So as I age,
I know I am the sage.

I fear not what I do not understand,
for it is within me that this design is planned.

I embrass each and every day,
and living life all the way.

For I know that my light is bright,
and on this day living life is my right.

So remember on the day you were born,
that it was you that chose to be torn.

So that you could remember the days of old,
while seeking wisdom that brings you gold.

Fear not the life you live,
for love is what you brought to give.

For you knew from the beginning of time
that this would be the day that you would shine.

Not for others to notice and see,
but rather for you and to set yourself free.

Today is the day of my physical birth,
A day when Spring filled the Earth.

And with my physical eyes open wide,
my spiritual eyes I did not hide.

Blessings to me!
Love you all, V
