Buried Treasure

Let your tears flow
Cry for all the anguish of the love
you craved and did not receive
Let the anguish and pain rise out of you
Let the angels carry it away
Cradle all the lost children of the world in your arms

Take them into your heart
Cry until your tears flow like a river
And wash all the pain away
Let the river become the birthing waters of your soul

Let your fears go
Find in your flaws and weaknesses
the core of your strength
Be determined, be unstoppable, rise above your fears

Now step back, open your heart
and watch your seeds grow
Watch them grow from tiny seeds into blossoms
of unimaginable beauty and grace
Watch as the truths you speak dance inside the
Palace of your soul
Watch as you become the spirit of promise,
the spirit of creation
the spirit of life
