Through all our lives, no matter where your
coming from, or going too
the façade you, we created since birth
the mask we so "Painstakingly Erect"
to protect our hearts our true selves
to appear normal on the outside
are facades indeed. And over your lifetime
cracks form, weakness of the walls crumble
little tiny specs of light creep in
It is how it always starts
the crumbling of the inner walls
to allow light shine fourth again, upon our hearts.
Don't let the cracks in you and others scare you
it is how light gets in. Light is an expression of love
showing you who you truly were all along.
At long last the walls fall
Pure light, surrounds your being
the light connects all
the all is one
