Shed the mind

The mind silenced, freeing the heart to breathe
Opposition once warranting arrest slips away without a sound
The blue sky dusted with clouds invites discovery
An invitation to hope begets an invitation to live
Life less complicated 
The stress of life peels away
On the ground lies a remnant 
Skin shed carrying years of worry, an eternity of aggravation 
Preserved in this, now, relic of you
Falling to the ground, a representation of the past
Shackled with concern resonating only anxiety, subjugated by withering hope
A clouded  future fixated on calamities of others
Rain falls, taking with it this relic, the reminder of what once was
A rainbow appears
Each color a representation of your beauteous soul
Red- your passion for life, the existence of love in each of your actions
Pink- the humble honesty in your eyes cascading your future of solace
Orange- the sparkle of your soul in the complete acceptance of your heart
Yellow- the warmth of your smile celebrating life, here and now 
Green- the covering upon the path you have chosen which radiates new life in faith
Blue- the blanket of protection from the searing mind attempting to repeat its enslavement
Purple- the healing bounty of God's hand awakening your soul
These colors, they never fade, they only grow stronger 
For the heart its gravitational force, centered around the Son
The connectivity of the heart to the reality of God substantiates our life in accordance with the soul
Slowly we learn
Instinctively we listen
It is only through the connection of the heart do we hear
Mantras crying out for hope replaced by an apothem of praise
Freedom from the mind elevates the soul
Surrendering only to God, life equates to beauty
Love, a companion of life...the keeper of the soul
Each word spoken is spoken from the heart
Each action enlisted, too, is enlisted from the heart
Ever reaching, never straining, the heart emits wonder and awe
To the glory be of the Father as the heart radiates with love
Entwined in the Father, yet not shackled, the heart is free to live
Free to accept the truths as innate as love itself
That it may grow, ever ready to protect, ever ready to guide
The birds chirp, they harmonize with the warm summer breeze and bellow a tranquil melody coveted by all, gained only by a few
You are of the few for you have accept your heart and shed the layers of the mind
Palpitations of the heart speak clearly the words once hidden 
The words once forgotten for they were silenced by the mind
But the mind no longer of consequence for the strength of the heart unveiled
Yielded by nothing, the heart free to soar, free to live
Freedom, the beat of the tabor
keeping time via the rhythm of the soul
With time kept, the march of life illuminated by the rays of the Son
The seasons more inviting...
the autumn hues crisp and refreshing
winter snow falls, blanketing the ground in white hope
buds of new life spring forth with each soft rain falling upon the fields 
tears of anxiety are soaked up by the radiant summer sun
The days ahead, a lifetime of love
A lifetime of peace
The beauty of this world unwrapped, awakened by the heart
May your days be many and each filled with love
Filled with the knowledge of the proven strength and wisdom of the heart
Today
Tomorrow
Always
May you live your heart
Live the solace which is God
Shed the mind and placid life follows

  Letting go of that which we grip so tightly only to realize it is the reason for our distance… Exercising the heart, the soul that it may...
