Empire

Intimidation, fear

What you thought you knew

Is not what you remember

Uncomfortable, afraid

You retreat, observe

 

Uncontrollable, dominant

Fearless, forcefully advancing

Yet what you think you see

Is not what you see

It is what is happening inside,

What is in control, that makes the difference

 

The old self, dead

The new self, fully alive

It is the uncontrollable power that lives within

The new all-consuming power

That drives the change

 

It brings healing and provides

Life, hope, strength, love & peace

My empire, my future

Is not mine at all

I am but a soldier

A humble servant

Trying to heed the call

Imperfect, fallible, prone to error

but fully committed & fully loved
