Today,
if your heart
is still heavy
with the burden
of unspoken words,
let them go,
for their only home
is the open sky,
like birds
from their cages.

Let the truth
take wings today,
free of fear,
free from shame.
Wings of honesty
will take you
to the life
you are
meant to claim.

If today,
you look
into the mirror
and see a self
you hardly recognize,
break that facade,
and give rise
to your authenticity.

Let all
that has been
false
grow thin,
the masks
you have
learned to wear,
so that today,
in this sacred moment,
your essence
can finally bare.

If the road behind
is rife with potholes
of regrets
and ill-spent time,
today,
pave a path forward,
up the mountain
you were meant to climb.

Make each step
dotted with courage.
At the top
may be that
profound peace
which can only be
reached
by those who welcome
themselves wholly,
and today’s courageous
choices.

Today,
your presence is a gift
to everyone you touch.

Today,
write yourself into being.
Right now,
in this very moment,
your future can
still blossom into
a limitless horizon
of possibilities
if you dare enter
your heart’s
treasure room.

So today and now,
simply promise
to live,
awake and true.
And today, this day,
closest,
will hear
tomorrow’s gaze.

Today,
be the cause,
become a word.
