WEIGHT or WINGS

A Poem by Heather "HBAM" Fergeson (AUDIO AVAILABLE!)

When it comes to life’s evaluation gauge,

Things become clearer with age.

What has been will always be

Because the past is where defeat and victory--

Hold hands in the legacy we’ve built around us

And leave memories that caused a ruckus.

Or maybe the memories are of times beholden

By someone whom our heart was stolen--

When they decided to possess you or walk away,

Leaving a fracture up to this very day.

It can bring a sense of darkness and density,

Locking us inside of our common tendencies

That do our minds and hearts no good

When we can’t let go of all of the “shoulds”.

It’s human nature to want things to stay the same,

But CHANGE is the only constant in this Earthplane game.

So when those times take their turn,

And come to evaluation’s “BUILD” or “BURN”,

Allow the question to arise...

WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY AND WHAT’S READY FOR DEMISE?

And then use this analogy to analyze such things:

DOES THIS MAKE ME FEEL WEIGHT, OR DOES IT GIVE ME WINGS?

If it feels heavy or sits long on your mind,

Or makes you want to scream, fight, run or hide…

Then it is time to give these things recognition

And utilize our God-given intuition

To remove these things from our life’s path

Before they become disdain or wrath.

Because holding onto these kinds of emotions

Will block and divert new energy’s motion.

Instead, those old feeling will fester and bubble up,

Into reactions that will only corrupt--

A mind’s ability to let things go,

Damming up the emotional flow.

BUT!

If the question is answered with happy thoughts,

And smiles find the face unsought,

Then WINGS are what it is you’re feeling,

Making you fly and inducing the healing

Of all of those things that were weighing you down,

Bringing love and peace and harmony’s sound

To the song that our lives are writing from day to day

As we conquer and destroy what was in our way…

Finding within us the ability to create,

Which lifts us out of the darkness’s weight.

Yes, it can be a difficult task

To remove the “protective” mask,

But time is always on your side

If you can allow yourself to ride--

The wave of emotions that emanate within,

Because the next shore is where the next chapter begins!

And that wave is where you will discover the wind

That gives your wings the ability to ascend

UP UP UP, and over the mess

That was trying to hold you in distress.

And that, my friends, is how each of us will know...

Is it WEIGHT or WINGS that are controlling the flow--

Of our states of being as we adventure through this human—

Experience of duality’s darkness or lumen.

Each and every sunrise a new dawn brings...

Will you take on the WEIGHT, or remember you have WINGS?

Thanks for reading/listening!

And always remember (REMEMBER REMEMBER!) that

YOU ARE STARS, NOT STANDARDS! NOW GO SHINE!!!

And have yourself the most uplifting day!

Blessed Be.
