Wrapped in your lips,

I see the truth,

A glowing lamp post in the night,

-My exposed depths sit upon a throne

Restlessness in my internal world

I felt it bubble in my chest,

The restlessness

Has become a friend

I felt inclined to judge

But also the kind of friend

That brought me peace

If I just listened to the silence

I didn't shut off my internal world

For it became a firefly in the summer night

And I couldn't ignore it's glow

Among the uncomfortable darkness

Who was I without the noise?

Kundalini Awakening

The sudden pull of energy from the spine

Activated my most vulnerable points

Leaving my eyes flooding with tears

Without a clear source,

It feels like an assault to my senses,

The bright lights, the loud sounds

And I feel it all,

Energetic fields of places and people

As if I was a magnified sponge in water

Pieces of a puzzle appears in my dream,

A deliberate message

To a subconscious thought

I feel my body vibrate upon waking,

Sudden movements that reminds me of the body's intelligence

And my perception slowly shifts,

Forcing me to drop superficial connections

And shallow habits

I feel the pulsing in my chest,

The bridge between the physical and the spiritual

Speak your truth

The box used to be sealed shut

By a vow never to speak your truth again,

But the time has come to release

What you have been holding back,

Let the floodgates open

And feel the slight buzz in your throat

As you hum to a random tune

This clearing is necessary for the next step forward

Your voice is the medicine

A channel for healing others

Like the sun slowly melting away the ice

The mystery of you

Heart pulses

Stuck in time

A firefly passes through the light

I feel the whispers

Until the moonlight

The golden box

Captures the light

Don't stray too far

Voices left unheard

The sun is a magnet

A reflection of the mystery inside you

Your thoughts are realms of exploration,

Even the ones you have ignored

For they are just as important

Denial becomes a prison

Denial becomes a prison

When you ignore

The roots buried in your heart

The subconscious holds the truth

Of what's underneath

And sometimes it's messy

Shame arises

That you would rather keep

Lodged into the ground

Like a forbidden secret

Afraid of what happens

When you decide to dig it up

It's not a prison you cannot break out of

It is a prison that waits until you're ready

To face yourself

So you can see others

For who they really are

You carry the armor

To walk in the forest of shadows
