These poems are from my book, “My Soul’s Light.” I’m a woman walking this journey of life in truth, having liberated my authentic spirit which freed my soul. I use my God granted sensibilities as a psychic channel and empath as my superpowers. The power of my love fuels my magic as a shamanic healer and writer. Living life as a creative force assists me in achieving my soul’s purpose and my goal is to help heal humanity one heart at a time through writing and the art of shamanism.

This is transformation.

Waking up from a dark place of deep sleep,

Softly awakened,

Wiping away tears,

No reason to weep.

For the time spent in darkness is now over,

Serving a purpose allowing for the changeover.

A remembering is what this is best compared to,

Embodying the gifts instilled upon soul so true.

Brushing off the past,

Challenges faced and mastered with class.

Childlike wonder not soon forgotten or bypassed.

Gathering courage builds a grateful heart.

Exactly what's needed for this kind of art.

Emerging from the shell of dissociation and detachment.

Time for arrival,

The big reveal.

Summoning strength and guidance,

Last layers easily peel.

Triumphant return to what's needed to shine all along.

Gallantly singing proudly a new yet old song.

Spreading wings and preparing to fly.

Watch out world,

For the only limit is sky.

Divine reverence.

Outpouring of unconditional loving guidance.

Look all around to feel its bright vibrance.

My heart feels love while my soul takes flight.

Surrendering worries to the light.

Forever capable and right on time.

Ultimate protection therein without decline.

All of creation bears its mark.

Standing firmly in faith while belief is sparked.

The more I give in to its power,

The more I receive.

Nothing can ever change.

This,

For now,

I do believe.

Beauty,

Grace,

Mercy and love is always granted.

Rooted in,

My feet firmly planted.

Love is sewn through every fiber of my being.

Seeing this truth is completely freeing.

Lessons.

Taking along searching for meaning.

Asserting such will can cause disruption of feeling.

Allowing,

Embracing and becoming whole.

Colors my world and speaks to my soul.

Pain of being human remains a constant.

Determined to succeed,

I turn away from distraction and to him.

Control is an illusion causing many to falter.

Divine timing is clear,

Becoming my altar.

Releasing the outcome by surrendering to what is.

Creates a peace undeniable without suffering.

Understanding it's not my will but his.

Waking up from the dream.

Our minds are dreaming all the time.

By creating stories,

Mine likes to rhyme.

Once addicted to suffering and pain like all the others.

Now focused on love of myself,

My sisters and brothers.

Healing my heart and opening it wide.

Allow the light of God to shine out from deep inside.

For that is what each one of us holds.

They're awaiting to be released.

It's humanity's own gold.

The light of love is so bold and everlasting.

This is what we all need to be broadcasting.

Releasing unconditional love and eternal power.

All of the world's most crucial dilemmas.

Start the fire,

Make a decision to turn towards your light.

Promises of peace,

Acceptance and a brand new dream.

Let's heal together,

Letting love be the beam.

I'm on board gathering a team.

Who's in?

Raise your hand high and let's begin.

Footsteps.

God leads my way down many paths.

Some I must walk are filled with sorrow and pain.

Yet I know he is with me.

I just call out his name.

Lessons in life must be taken in solitude for no one else to disturb the mood.

Grounded in faith,

I follow his lead.

Divinely guided and protected.

My intuition I must heed.

Allowing myself this time to wonder.

Not a step is taken in blunder.

Learning what is there becomes a part of the tapestry.

Reflecting upon moments taken in stride quite carefully.

Embracing what I am,

What this life is about and where I am going.

Trusting the process always keen on knowing.

Tremendous opportunities for reshaping and growing.

Unconditional love bestowed carries me onward.

Doubt and uncertainty slip away now fully conquered.

Thank you for the moments alone.

Never having felt such grace and mercy on my own.

Mistakes from the past ready to be atoned.

With a grateful heart I continue along.

Held in light and love from above.

Souls spirit.

Awakening comes from deep inside.

Spirited essence released spreading my wings wide.

Every fiber within my being.

Singing loudly and proudly for the truth in seeing.

Once covered up in shadows conditioned by chaos and almost forgotten.

No longer disconnected or detached from the wonder.

Hidden beneath layers of others judgments.

Fully integrated having made the adjustments.

Brightly shining from the inside out.

Growing stronger every day filled with joy to break out.

Never going back to dwelling within the darkness.

Polished by love clearing away any tarnish.

Allowed to come forward and exist without hesitation.

Rejoicing in resolve at this outstanding revelation.

Strong-willed.

Resolving to keep life simple.

Aiming for something that doesn't cripple.

Spirit moving fast adding glimpses from the past.

Determined to make an impression that lasts.

Moving forward while remaining present in each moment.

Embracing the gifts received with enjoyment.

Harmonious tones layered with kindness and grace.

Keeps the beat beyond time and space.

Nothing can stop the momentum from being built.

Success is something granted while releasing the guilt.

I'm not my past mistakes or thoughts that tend to linger.

Opening to everything wrapping life around my finger.

Determined to keep every promise I've made to myself.

Arriving at a place I never dreamed of to reach.

Humbled to see all the beauty life has to offer.

My soul singing freely beckons the others.

May we surge ever onwards my sisters and brothers.

I am love.

I have ventured inside to the center to the whole.

I am balanced reborn and made of pure gold.

No judgments or opinions to be told.

I am love.

I radiate pure white light so bright the highest of energy.

I heal refueling others to rise after they fall.

I come directly from source.

I am love.

Love is all I am.

Love is what I'm best at.

Love is all.

I am love.

Wilderness in me.

Walking in nature's raw beauty whispers through trees.

Winds revealing messages floating around on the breeze.

I tune in and sway to the rhythm allowing the flow.

Grounded in creation drawn to each leaf.

Survival depends upon succumbing to what lies beneath.

Fire,

Wind,

Water and earth feeding the growth or decaying what no longer serves.

Ever-changing climate akin to our emotional landscape.

Building upon the foundation,

Nourishment is in the roots.

Anchored into truth helps any new growth have a chance to succeed.

Understanding my soul is as wild as I please.

Standing in my power embraced by what lived there before.

My ancestors glory.

Bonded by cellular function creates a metamorphosis to simultaneously occur.

Being always becoming and forever evolving.

Season after season,

Layer upon layer,

Onward and onward without end.

This is for all the teachers in my life and all the teachers out there across the world.

This is teacher heroes.

We call them teachers but that word doesn't quite suffice.

When what they do is create magic one can't give a price.

Listening,

Observing and going the extra mile.

A few who've made my educational experience more worthwhile.

Teachers don't just guide instruction of writing and math.

They lovingly and willingly blaze a path.

For success is their chosen goal.

Each student's future to be made whole.

I'm blessed to remember the ones who cared about the woman I was to become.

Mostly it's a thankless position.

I'd like to take this time to sincerely thank their mission.

Teachers are heroes after all and this poem is my transmission.

Never allowing their students to stumble or fall.

Shapeshifting masters is what they are.

In my heart they will stay never too far.

Dragonfly.

Symbolic ancient wisdom flies effortlessly around me.

Intrigued by the sight I observe its movements carefully.

Reminded of how far I've come.

Triumphing over the trauma and now I've won.

Reclaimed my authentic spirit.

Empowered by its strength.

Sprinkled throughout creation.

Ever so gently I feel pulled towards salvation.

Spirit renewed deeply touching my soul.

Transformational energy grows making me feel whole.

Higher than the highest of highs.

Loving light and bright colors fill up the sky.

New chapter has begun.

Moving onwards saying goodbye to what once was it has served its purpose.

Eyes on the horizon awaiting my new direction.

I hope.

I hope you love.

I hope you live.

I hope you believe in every tomorrow there is.

I hope you carry yourself in grace.

I hope joy and happiness fill your heart space.

I hope this for every single human being on earth.

I hope that everyone rising up together creates rebirth.

I hope that God hears me and grants me this wish.

I hope that with enough prayers and love we undo what's been done.

Fight of the light.

Shimmers of light moving like a collider scope of color.

Universes blanketed in a web crafted by an expert tailor.

Reaching inside everyone like the branch of the olive.

Sprouting seeds of connection and helping them grow.

Forgiveness like water filling in that which was hollow.

Glistening resonance within each being passed along.

Recognition of truth combines harmoniously in song.

Hand in hand we are bonded in love.

Shining eternally brighter than ever before.

Darkness has no chance at winning this war.

Light burns away any evil that exists.

Fear becomes love by souls alchemists.

Separationism is abolished and proven untrue.

The light of love shines brightly renewed through and through.

I acknowledge and release.

I see the unhealed shame and ignorance that's perpetuated in others.

The hurt it's caused my sisters and brothers.

Weeping while dragging my sorrows along for this ride.

Turning to a closet to run and hide.

Misplaced judgments and opinion thrown at innocence.

Developing dissociation within to remain content.

All of it no longer serves my heart.

Awakened and rejoicing in the rebirth of my soul.

Eyes wide open and determined to take on the world.

Joyful peace,

Loving grace combine and twirl.

Putting an end to this soulless lifestyle and drought.

Rain pours down cleansing away scars from long ago.

Emerging to discover what's mine.

Serenity and trust of self finally align.

Home.

Your eyes the welcome sign leading me in.

Your arms are the building blocks comforting my skin.

Your heart is the foundation that guides me through this darkness.

Your soul is my touchstone declaring love incarnate.

Our bond has lasted lifetimes and burns forever bright.

My hand within yours together feels just right.

No matter the distance or miles apart.

In my thoughts you're a constant companion.

Never to part.

Rainbow clouds.

Up in the sky I see you there.

Bright and beautiful floating on air.

Dancing a waltz of both yellow and green.

Instantly I know just what this means.

Heart shapes form before my eyes could look away.

Suddenly choked up with the emotion of the day.

Thank you God for sending me this sign.

And angels wink.

It is so divine.

Standing tall firm in my belief and so proud.

Holding my head high standing apart from the crowd.

Knowing my duty deep down in my bones.

Ending confusion of all the unknowns.

Only the chosen who seek thee shall find.

The kind of love that gently boggles the mind.

Understanding it all is what matters.

We rise up together from this disaster.

Here to heal.

Scribbling words that begin as whispers in my ears.

Not always sure where they come from but are begging to appear.

The way I've walked through life is quite unconventional.

Weaving art together.

A talent that highlights my being is multi-dimensional.

Heart wide open while spreading love's powerful essence.

Allows my soul to expertly conduct this dance as it commands many to come forward in my presence.

As long as I walk God's green earth I vow to keep my promise.

As a fighter for the light from the heavens as a healer.

These two gifts are my humble offerings.

Writing and healing others as a relief from all their suffering.

Part of an earth angel clan.

After all of these years I finally understand who I am.

Unbelievable.

Stretched beyond wild imagination.

Who knew the cost it would cause to creation.

All the dark and evil forces.

Testing all internal resources.

Carrying onto glory isn't an option but the goal.

Accepting her role and releasing all control.

Thrown into action now.

No time to wait.

Extended past her furthest reach.

To save humanity will be her greatest feat.

Everything she's survived has brought her here.

Embracing love no time for fear.

The little girl who once dreamed big has her wits about her and her heels planted to dig.

Preparing for an enormous battle.

Nerves of steel buckled up and ready to excel full throttle.

Minding all the knowledge she's garnered.

Grounded in love operating from its center.

Slaying demons as she walks.

Head held high opposition shrugged off.

Triumphantly she lays down her sword.

Thundering applause breaks out.

No longer will she be ignored.

Unbelievable is the word most often spoken.

Our entire world she has finally awoken.

In light and in shadow.

Our soul's evolution is married to both.

In light of love's spirit we bask in its glow.

When shadows arise revealing what lies just below.

Intuitively knowing the vital information both aspects create.

Merging the two is when the magic takes place.

For we cannot hold on to just the light without accepting the parts beneath layers we deem as right.

It all must coexist in a marriage born in the cosmos.

Loving its whole in totality not found in any gizmos.

The pain of the human experience is grand.

Carry on as we do in love is our own unique brand.

Allowing others to touch the places we deem unworthy.

Trust of it all is what makes us earthly.

As the sun shines upon our hearts the moon illuminated our soul's shadow allowing truth to start.

This eternal dance is the essence of living.

God shares this with us all by graciously giving.

Each day we rise by night time as we sleep.

Awakening to both is the promise he keeps.

Sacred soul.

Digging in deep soul shifts rumbling beneath.

Locked into spirit revealing ancient wisdom so bequeathed.

Rising to the occasion following instinctual drive.

Embracing knowledge gifted ignites passionate soul revival.

Walking into destiny's colorful design.

Leaving worn out patterns and pain far behind.

Dancing with grace curiosity and wonder.

Abundantly playful brought to fascinating asunder.

Never looking back acceptance of my path.

Inspired by hopefulness and locked into faith.

Blessed beyond measure to have arrived at this sacred space.

God of all I bow my head and vow to continue and press onwards ever tall.

Empowered by the strength granted and peaceful vibes being sent to one and all.

Thank you for listening.

Namaste.
