Aria


Aria of Aries birth she be
An inner child deemed destiny
A song, a flame, playful desire
She ever the spark, the heartfelt fire
A crown she braids of daisies white
Holding within its golden light
And if a moment veiled in despair
Calls she to God's knowing care
In faith and love she beckons to me
Whispers of a song, this soul free.

"The soul is revealed when you feel centered; your mind is clear; you have the sensation that time has stopped; you suddenly feel free of boundaries; you are keenly self-aware; you feel merged with another person, either in love or silent communication; you feel untouched by aging and change; you feel blissful and ecstatic; you have an intuitive flash that turns out to be true; you somehow know what is going to happen; you sense the truth; you feel supremely loved or absolutely safe."
Adapted from Life After Death: The Burden of Proof, by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2006).

Rose Marie, oh you are a wordsmith! That is so lovely. You are bringing not only the child out in me again........ but the sweet girl that never felt safe..... or precious. You have the gift, so many .... but really tapping into our child that needs love and tenderness- to just be okay. Let's play indeed sugar baby!
