The Swan

I thought you were sleeping

First of all welcome to all new subscribers, I’m delighted and honoured that you are here. If you want to know what to expect from me you can visit this post.

I infuse this community with love and light with the intention that all who come into this space have a positive and uplifting experience. Together we are a mighty force of beings raising consciousness for the highest good of all. And so it is.

Today I am sharing another piece from I Write. These pieces are from a part of me that was supressed for a long time.

The creative child that lost herself and her self belief. I have reclaimed this part of me and now she is there for all the world to see.

I saw a dead swan today on my walk and it came with a message for humanity. How often do we turn away or fear death? How can we face it with the eyes of beauty, compassion and reverence?

I saw you lying there as though you were sleeping.

I started to pass by and found myself speaking,

to the parts of me that I have been shedding so fast, the old, tired parts of me that have been clinging on from the past.

I’m ready to let you go, I am ready to let you die, I cannot hold you any longer if I am to fly.

Too much we have been through together, but I am ready to let you flutter away to the ground like these feathers.

There is beauty I see in observing this ritual, I see that I’ve been too hard on myself, I’ve punished myself, I’ve beaten up upon myself.

I honoured this insight, plucked from a scene in nature, I delved into my heart, I had found the answer,

you see I had let myself fear what I could not continue to grasp, I cannot see the future, I have no longer a past,

I have wandered and wandered through these dark forests at night, but now I am determined that I am to come out into light,

where I can shine bright, yes for others of course that is guaranteed, but for the first time, the very first time, I want to shine bright for me.

As I continued upon my newly lit path, a magnificent swan rose up in front of me,

I see you are risen, I see that you live, I am most honoured to meet you, I am most grateful of your gift.

The swan did not move, did not speak, did not need to, I’ve heard it’s divine voice and I make haste to greet,

the new dawn that is coming, the work is complete, I am older, I am wiser and

I rise, I rise, I rise.

Blessings of love and light,
