Amongst the terrain of crisis
Are the verdant fields of restoration
Where the soul weaves itself anew
Amidst the throes of personal upheaval and disarray
Is a messenger heralding the arrival of transformation
In the wreckage of our former self
We discover the core of our spirit
And what it has been yearning to express
The nurturing back of a fragmented soul
From what seemed like the end
Is a prelude to the powerful
When we are forged in the fire of trials
The extraneous is stripped away
And the real you emerges that outshines the roles you play
Just like the caterpillar must surrender to the chrysalis
Before the emergence of the butterfly
You are reborn with a profound connection to all life
A doorway opens to a sacred chamber of self awareness
An invitation of a profounder walk with the self
And with all of existence is extended
Within the chasms of despair
Is the wellspring of wholeness and compassion
And a renaissance of purpose
On the other side of the tempest
Our truest self awaits us
Serene and radiant with the light of understanding
Bearing the insights that only a journey
Through a dark night can bestow!
