Simply Love

With nothing hidden,
can you now see
through branches
that with leaves
may have obscured
your view,
do not trees at
the edge of winter
look vulnerable,
branches stripped down,
without the lushness
of their leaves?

But when fall winds
begin to roar,
do not trees still sway,
so they will not break,
do they not stand
in their strength,
not afraid to display
what they are made of,
as they wait patiently,
knowing when spring arrives,
new growth will emerge
to be seen?

Is there not a clarity
of vision,
when fall turns cold,
when crisp and clear
sharpens what you see,
is there not a simplicity
when you strip down
to what is the Essence
at your core,
what makes you stand
in your Truth,
not thinking about
what others might see,
is there not a stark beauty
when you display
the You in every season,
showing the Love
That You Are?

Is not the simple
Truth of You,
that you are Wholly
made of Love –
there are times when you
may wish to hide
behind what covers up
what is inside,
but is it not time
to reveal
Who You Are –
to let your Shining Light
be seen near and far?

Stand straight and tall
in your Truth.
Stand in the
magnificent beauty
That You Are.
With clarity
may you stand and
Be the Love That You Are.

Simply Love.
Simply Light.
Simply You.
