wet
Come to the river of your life
Look at your own reflection
choose to plunge into your own water
mouth wide open
drink
❤️
Amy Lloyd
There comes a day when
it no longer matters what others think.
All that matters now
is that we follow our own lead.
That we no longer resist
the urge to get our feet wet.
At the waterside.
At the harbour, where we draw our own tide.
Yes all that matters now
is that we source the depths of our own longing.
For we know that our very being depends
on the truths we tell ourselves.
And these truths are reflected now,
in the stillness of the water’s surface.
Yes, look and find,
that after all, you are perfect.
To your own self to which you are now true.
And to your own purposes which call you.
THERE COMES A DAY by Ana Lisa de Jong
Living Tree Poetry
August 2017
So come to the pond,
or the river of your imagination,
or the harbour of your longing.
And put your lip to the world.
And live your life.
– Mary Oliver
For one day soon you will step into your own stunning universe—beyond the myths, outside any limitations or predictions, far from the illusions this life invents—as you answer the call to uncover the many starlit truths contained inside your incomparable soul. You will be reborn to fresh and glorious revelations only you can carry to completion. And while all the infinite possibilities expand within, may you sing aloud, rejoicing in your new birth, no longer owned by anyone’s idea of who you should be.
