Love Poem: Spiritual Journey

Spiritual Journey

“When the voice and vision on the inside become more profound, clearer and louder than the opinions on the outside you have mastered your life.”

After reading those words written by Dr. John F. Demartini I knew in reality
I would soon discover within my soul how to acquire this ability

Instead of listening to the various voices of others I listen to my own 
I’ve mastered my life by accepting that my choices are done alone

I learned to love what I enjoy doing and do it in an intense passionate way
Writing, reading, dancing to live music, movies, swimming on a hot day 

Books that have guided me on my deep spiritual path have been many
Iyanla Vanzant’s “In The Meantime,” is one that brought me much sanity 

Marianne Williamson’s, “A Return To Love,” gave me the gift of respect
“Care of The Soul,” by Thomas Moore taught me how to with others connect 

Shirley MacLaine and Elizabeth Gilbert are author’s so filled with light
They inspire my spiritual growth and incite my passion to creatively write

I revel that at the age of forty two I am at peace and love who I am at last
Having faith in the universe, living in the present rather than in the past
