Allow Love
Stop trying so hard for it
Open arms say, yes, yes, yes
waiting for
expecting it
knowing without a doubt
trusting the process
having faith it will come
living like amor already adores you
in the present
your present
a gift unwrapped
because you believed in the ribbons
decorating
embellishing
trimming
boxed thoughts
like wishes
enclosed carefully in heart’s chamber
blowing in the wind
but not away
❤️
Carried as dreams
made in the quiet hour
hope- conviction- allegiance
poised promises
delivered to self
guarantees shipment
a letter addressed to no one
no one in particular
envelope
licked and sealed
stamped with postage
travels
spiritual miles
to the appropriate recipient
name
unknown to you
not yet, not now
but wait…
❤️❤️
Yes, wait
expedited shipping
a worldly affair
needn’t apply in spiritual realms
a paper trail
prevails
and it will
when the trying too much stops
STOP!!!
you stop
halt heavy handed headspace
halt pushing poetic prophecy
halt right here, right now
raised eyebrows
squint and scrunch
yours-
brow beaten retrospect
“let if flow”
theme you neglect
is only first class mail
when you let go
sooner released
sooner appeased
love will prevail
timely
by a postman
armed for carrying
delivery guaranteed
when you are ready
to receive
❤️❤️❤️
Dear ones,
Allow love, it will come-
When you stop trying so hard for it
Thanks for reading❣️
