Love Poem: Blooming

Blooming

I felt your peace today
as it was mine too.
Simultaneous love
...is creating me new

Demons rise up
and conquer I do
Sometimes one
Sometimes two

I swim throught the swamp
and arise on top
because I am
as I have been
the lotus a lot

To be it 
and bloom
as it may
I must trudge through
a few moments each day

each petal opens
as I unfold truth
stretching and reaching
as the jewel snuffs out my youth

Power in the presence of the light that I am
and again know this...you've always been holding my hand.
You do not pull or even reach out
but you are here, then and now in my moments of doubt.

An illusion they are
and today that may be
but I again will set myself free.
I have chosen now to see, open, bloom
Thank you for giving me the room.
