m \u2014 i am love, a flower in earth’s garden<\/em><\/p>\n

i change my name to love
\ni grow lilies in my garden
\nreminders not to worry
\ni no longer seek the light
\ni am the light
\nbreathing joy
\nflipping moments of pain and fear
\ninto a lifetime of peace
\nthere is no darkness
\nwhen cares are left to rest<\/p>\n

come along with me
\nsee this golden light
\ntransforming each dead branch
\ninto a home
\nnourishing new life
\nshowing you a prophecy
\nworries drop
\nin every walk
\nin earth’s gardens
\nfinding love in you
\nyou never are alone<\/p>\n

i become my fate
\nsay my own sweet words
\ngive myself a gift
\nto remind me of my beauty
\nfilled so full, a nectar
\nspills forth
\nwaiting to be brushed
\nwith every lip
\nsharing its sweetness
\nlick the joy
\nglow in the sun
\ndance in the moon
\nthe eternal light that shines
\nlies within you
\nlove is not in things
\nit lies within
\nthe source of light
\nnot an afterglow
\nbut an eternal flow
\nof love<\/p>\n

my name is love
\ni am love
\na flower in earth’s garden
\ngrow alongside of me
\na peace lies in thee<\/p>\n

we energize
\nand heal our next moment<\/p>\n
