Beloved one,
I ask of you, please;
Pour your light over me.
Fill me with courage, to shine
With brazen grace and modesty;
To flow with the tides
You so beautifully conduct;
For I am your student,
Devoted in practice,
Rooted in rhythm,
Still struggling with stage fright.
I ask of you, please;
Illuminate the wisdom that resides in my shadows.
Elucidate the path I falter to walk.
The task feels great,
And I am so weary.
Take me into your loving light.
Release all the binds.
I surrender.
Beloved one,
I ask of you, please;
Soothe the overwhelm
That threatens to engulf
As I forget to trust
The process of breathing.
