The Love That I Am

I allow the light that I am
to become more tangible
than the body I inhabit.
I allow the light that I am
to expand exponentially.
I allow the light that I am
to transform all the shadows
within me;
the shadows of doubt,
the shadows of shame,
the shadows of guilt;
all of them dissolved
by the light within me. 

I allow the grace that I am
to become greater than
my history of suffering.
I allow the grace that I am
to grow stronger than
my grief and anguish.
I allow the grace that I am
to dissolve the prison
I've made of the past.

I allow the joy that I am
to become more expansive
than my sea of sorrows.
I allow the joy that I am
to envelop the heart of my inner child.
I allow the joy that I am
to outpace my pains.

I allow the love that I am
to settle more deeply into my heart.
I allow the love that I am
to wipe away my tears.
I allow the love that I am
to loosen my death-grip
on my story;
I allow the love that I am
to replace my story full of pain
with a story full of pleasure.
