i’ve been quiet,
as shy as the fawn
you,
you are teaching me to roar
i’ve been compliant
i’ve stumbled through life
with two left feet
you,
you are teaching me to stand
i’ve been fearful, small
i’ve moved reluctantly
you,
you are teaching me to dance
rapturously
i’ve been ashamed,
my heart’s been shrunken
you,
you are teaching me
to burst into the light
clumsily,
i have shied before your love,
enchained by what i thought was darkness
etched in my reflection.
with wonder, i continuously discover
that my flaws do not faze you
and you,
you remain steady in your love.
i have allowed myself to be tamed,
but for you,
beloved teacher,
i can learn to be unbound.
~ a poem for Guru Pūrṇimā ♥️. celebrating today the love of the Guru, a love so unconditional that it rewires every inch of the being who opens to it. Śrī Gurubhyo Namah! 🙏
