I walked outside
With my head hung low.
Eyes closed,
Weary soul.
Troubled
By the turbulence of life.
Heart heavy as a brick.
No sense of security
From not knowing what the future holds.
But when I felt the sun embrace my skin
Like a warm blanket, fresh out the dryer,
I saw the sun through my closed eyes.
Darkness became brighter and brighter.
I heard,
"Open your eyes. This is for you."
A soft wind blew through my hair
Like the breeze dancing through the oak tree leaves.
My heart became lighter.
I heard,
"Take a deep breath. Calm your soul."
The Universe was speaking.
I listened.
I became aligned.
Like the darkness behind my closed eyes
Becoming brighter and brighter,
So will my life.
Why should I cry
When the Universe is working on my behalf?
No need to hang my head
When there is a golden crown upon it.
The Universe was speaking.
I listened.
I claimed the victory.
