                             Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse: Facing The Shadows Within

With old wounds re-opened and tears not yet dried
I'm keenly aware of the devil inside
Still self-sabotaging my true desires
Through self accusations and chaotic fires
And I'm tired of watching my dreams go up in flames
Because I am consumed with fears and self-blame
In panic I flee from what I truly love
When I'm closed in below and closed in above


But this cage is self-made; the bird longs to be free
So I promise to fly – fly for you and for me
To wrestle til daybreak with shadows within
To dispell all the lies I've regarded as sin
To push into the future without turning around
With my face to the sun and my feet on the ground
To face change without fear – embrace life with much love
Because I'm sustained below and sustained above
I am loved. You are loved. We are loved. We are loved.
