The Awakening Soul

...And all of the sudden, your eyes flutter open, the images in your world sharpen, sounds come into focus, and you realize you have awoken... 
you've arrived to the wide awake happiness your soul was quietly searching for. 
Somehow, for years, you've been wandering through life in a foggy slumber, 
letting muscle memory lead you through your day to day, without realizing you're not exactly alive, 
not exactly dead.... 
you're just existing to exist allowing the brightest parts of you to be dusted over with silent discontent. 
The enemy lies in the darkest parts of our minds- we call him many things…
Comfort, Contentment to name a few…. 
...and don't always realize when he has lulled our fire into its deepest slumber 
only to be awakened by the bright spark of change. 

You stand in the sunlit room, beaming light and fire out into the universe, 
pulling off the cobwebs of living in the past burning them into particles of stardust with your passion for the unknown…the precipice of growth underfoot urging you to jump, to fly, to soar and conquer the beautiful world hanging at your fingertips. 
Stretching your wings you confidently nosedive into the brightly colored future, 
lighting your path with merely the love in your heart, 
there’s nothing between you and your wildest dreams now- 
they’re all yours for the taking. 

Own this future, love this world, 
let the passionate fire burning brightly within your soul light up the darkest nights- 
you’ve arrived to your next destination.
