You strayed off the path

and I called out to you.

But you heard another voice

and that illusion seemed so real,

So you walked out into

the desert of your ignorance.

I stood on the path of freedom,

the path of promise, the path of effort

rewarded, the path of potential

and waited for you.

And I watched you walk away

from all of the gains

that you had accomplished.

I saw you walk away from

the obvious work that

was required of you.

I saw that moment when

you left truth behind

and believed in an illusion

over yourself.

I hoped you would be back quickly.

But as I waited through days and nights,

weeks and months….

I realized that I could not know

when you would come back

to sanity and understand where you had

strayed off the path of your eternal soul.

 

So I am leaving this note for you

for when you return.

I am letting you know that I

have continued down this path.

I trust your detour has been

enlightening and illuminating.

I hope the suffering has not been

too harsh during your awakening.

I have sent you prayers each day

as bread crumbs for  you to

find your way back into peace,

compassion, love, and freedom.

I hope you have found out that

no one out there has the

answers for you.

I hope that you have learned

to trust your highest self.

And I hope you have forgiven

your humanness in this journey.

I wait for you in the places

where time never ends.

I am with all those that love you

and have held out a light for you

to find your way home.

Love was always your home.

Compassion was always the path.

And freedom was the gift

that you needed to give yourself.
