Beating Bleeding Heart

I wear my heart on my sleeve.
Big heart, beating loud and hard and often quaking
I am not afraid to love, not anymore.
I am finding, others are still afraid.

Afraid of LOVE.

I am not afraid to get to know a person
Know their quirks and qualities
Touch their soul and taste their lips
I am not afraid to send out love energy
This does not mean I am in love
Love energy is about being open to the possibility
Who knows, Will I fall in love?
I don't know
Will you fall in love?
I don't know
Love energy is about possibilities
Getting to know one another
Without fault or fear
Yeah, I know
There are things in my life
Which are frightening
Life engaging
Life taking
and yet, I am Whole
I am a whole person
Who loves to give
Who wants to give
Who wants to be an integral part of another's life
And vice versa

Don't be afraid to give love energy
Let not selfishness take root and grow
Do not let fear keep you in protection's guise
You will not be protected

Yeah, I have this big bleeding beating heart
Bleeding out love energy

Beating out love energy
Exhausted heart
My heart is exhausted
Tired

Full Moon in Cancer

The 1st full moon of 2015 I stood outside at midnight under the moon.
Palo Santo wood burning as I released to the Full Wolf Moon.
Dancing in a circle
I saw my breath
Nose cold
The moon light shining bright
 I felt peace descend
Watched the colors dance around the moon
From gold to blue to red and back to gold again
I was touched by the light
As I released into the night.

I am a giving woman.
A healing kinda soul
I often place other's needs
In front
In place of my own.

This full moon teaches us to release patterns which no longer have a place in our lives.

I release the pattern of placing others needs before my own.
Shattering this way of being and rebuilding mySelf.

I will not become less caring
Less healing
I am
More aware of my needs
My healing

I release you.
The person I want
I release the energy belonging to you
To the ground
To the trees
To the wind
So that you live
In my life, my heart
Instead of in my head

Always seeking higher wisdom
Always seeking higher love
Remembering, I am in control of my happiness
I cannot control anyone else
We all have our place in life
And I am centering within my dark and light energies
To be me
I attract those who are to be
Within the light of my life

Love is a beautiful energy
I love without fear
I am breaking my age old pattern
Releasing
Releasing
So that I accept love
Without fear.
