To the Young One

The Path You May Choose

By Monique FreemanPublished 6 years ago 2 min read

Dear child,

Trust yourself,

For wherever you go,

you are far more safe then where you stay,

Your life is much more than your beginning

So you know you will never go astray.

For Mother Nature is where you’ll really nurture in the fields of dance and play.

The joys of passion, the waves of love, and the abundance that you seek

You may only find in the forest of the divine

So run little one,

There’s no need for you to hide,

For you are free to find you and find love in the divine.

So, now that you know this, I ask what will you do?

Will you stay and still wait for a signal, a clue?

Or Will you run wild in love and create how you do?

The choice is forever yours so choose as you may.

But you must know that either path will have parts of dismay.

For there is no good without bad and no yin without yang

So of course there are dead spots in the forest you lay in.

But fret not my love, why stay if you see it has become of no use?

For the forest is infinite in whichever path that you choose.

So when you see death arriving,

don’t see it no pain,

see it as what you won’t do,

and tread along the path that you’ll stay in.

Now you can branch off this path, explore the forest and lay in it

enjoy it,

smell the flowers,

breathe the aromas,

taste the flavors.

But when you see that your spot has become of no use,

you must run along my child,

for you still have work to do.

Oh yes, there is work in the realm of the divine

for wisdom is not just given,

but it is gained over time,

So when those dead spots arise just hang in there a little longer,

for it is releasing something you won't do so you can gain something stronger.

Now, every time you must return to this path you may dread

know that there is glory in it be merry, and tread.

Flow as you may flow

so you can see and so you may know.

And don't you worry the details of every spot that you choose

for it is divine, every spot, every spot that you lose.

So, now that you see there is no right way to divine

Will you stay in that spot?

or Will you take flight and align?
