Open Heart

How

Did the rose

Ever open its heart

And give to this world

All its beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light

Against its

Being

Otherwise

We all remain

Too

Frightened

The sun rises

Slowly rising above the snow covered peaks

It changes everything

The light

What was hidden is revealed

What was frozen is freed from icy stillness

By its warmth

The ground becomes an incubator

Of life

And flowers

Ah flowers open their arms and embrace

The sky

So too the warmth of Sacred love

Like the sun

Warms my soul

Until I open my arms

My heart

My soul

And I am free to embrace

Everything

Every

One
