Calling in my Council

Calling in my Council

calling in my council
for i have been afraid
my life’s purpose has felt altered
and i must leave this scene unpaid

the wisdom keepers gather
they know the life i’ve lived
they tell me not to feel i’ve failed
for my purpose has been to give

when one’s love has been rejected
when one questions what was believed
when patterns keep repeating
how can one’s purpose be retrieved?

i am told to turn the volume down
not to focus on what was heard
to give it time to settle down
to go quiet and observe

exhaustion has been a catalyst
yet i have spoken my truth
if things can change it will feel strange
what miracle could give me proof?

from the counsel given
new wisdom has risen
my heart can survive
can never be imprisoned

love cannot be destroyed
just re-employed
ask and it shall be given
seek and ye shall find
knock and it shall be opened unto you
the blessings of a prayer
