I Came to become
My life was dark and silent.
A shell has developed around me
for what seems to be an eternity.
The walls are closing in around my being.
God how I long for the freedom and beauty of being something more than I am.
My desires are disappearing, replaced by hope and faith.
My soul is alive.
I can feel it reaching for life
with passion and with desperation,
rooting its heart into that which could smother it,
but it will not die from its fears,
only then to embrace the unknown with love.
I am released from the past now,
as if I was liberated into a divine world of light.
I know from this, I am growing.
I taste the air.
The testing wind's of time are making me strong.
I smile at the rain and live to touch the sun,
for they have unchained me and command my deepest love.
When I look around me I can see the most colorful field of flowers ever known. But wait!
From the morning dew,
I see myself
In the reflecting face of a nearby orchid.
And with astounding amazement I can see,
I once was a seed in my darkest hour,
but came to become a beautiful flower.
