A meeting of the souls Realizing they are one Shaped by the same source It comes when we are ready After the grief has passed Wound has healed When we are at peace With self With solitude So essential in soul growth

Have healed the heart Navigated the dark night To feel joy again Within self Centered Light visible as we emerge The depth of true love possible Only after traversing the dark corners of self To have the courage to do so So know we are not alone As we walk the path of pain To face our shadows Burning away anything false That we are loved every step of the way

A true love awaits When we emerge! With a realization of who we are Asking Is it aligned at all levels? Does it bring peace? Does it awaken? Does it center me? Rooted in truth? The refining of self continues on the path of true love! In essence a coming home to self!

All relationships are a journey to self. An exploration of our depths and layers. With self love the journey and the goal. The poem is inspired by many aware beings who have already traveled this path. Thank you for reading!
