One Love- Steemit Vision Quest and 100 Day Poetry Challenge-Day 84
I am a big believer in our ability to bring about change. That we all hold so much power within ourselves and that once we tap into this power or inner self knowledge, so many things open up to us. One of the greatest gifts we have is the ability to love. But, We really need to learn to love ourselves first, before we can send love out into the world.
Self Love
This person that stands before you
this person who's reflection you see
this is the person who needs to be loved
openly and freely.
This is the first lesson needed
in order to bring about change
we have no power
unless we can arrange
an abundance of self love
to wash over ourselves
and bring down these walls
that we have created to protect our inner self.
The journey I have taken with this Vision Quest, the places I have been taken to, the depths that I have reached. Just letting myself go, allowing this natural flow to rise up and take me away. Trusting that what comes up is what I need to know, what I need to share. These words that I write they are within us all, they are our inner voices calling us to come together, to gather together and unite in this 'ONE LOVE'.
One Love
I am not a painter,
my art is with my words,
my power is my knowledge,
my wish to be open
and to share,
to look to the earth
to find ways to create
and to bear
the fruit of what has been sown
into the minds of those
who continue to grow.
This is the universal language
this is what we need to know.
When we chose to take this path
when we open our hearts to receive
all the love will come flowing in
all that we seek will lead us to believe
in the natural flow of all things
in the way that our emotions bring us together
igniting our passion and desire to create wings
with which we can carry one another.
This One Love is our united love, it is the one thing that has the power and potential to change how we perceive and interact with the world. We are beings of energy, how we are feeling, what we are feeling, this is the energy we send out to the world. This is our projection, this is how we can create our reality. We can create ripples or we can create waves.
Now, close your eyes and image the world that you wish to see, the world you wish to live in.
How does that make you feel?
Hold onto those emotions, hold onto those feelings. Hold onto that world that you have created, because that is what you must project out into the world. Live your life, as if you are in the world that you want to live in, make this your reality. Use those feelings and emotions and set them free into the world where they can join together to create One Universal Power, One Universal Love bringing us all together. One Love to unite us All.

The One Love poem I have written also for Day 84 of the 100 day Poetry challenge, I usually like to keep them separate, but my life is so busy these days and as I have written two I felt it would be okay to do so. Thank you @d-pend for providing me with the opportunity to write each day and become more and more creative as the days pass.

Mama this is beautiful. My husband is such a blessing to me, he reminds me to love myself to be able to love them and others. I'm glad to be a part of our mama group.
So true about having love within us. Thank you for verbalizing it in your poem.
thanks so much @lovenfreedom for your lovely feedback, I reall appreciate it xx
You're very welcome! I enjoy reading your posts and sometimes, when there's nothing I can add of value I'll just upvote. I don't have to always say something :)❤️
nice poetry....
thank you @zulacut, much appreciated
Thanks for adding the projection part in here im trying more and more each day to visualize a new reality
Honestly I'm amazed by how much wonderful content u create each day and being a mum as well, I don't know how u got the time for it!
thank you lovely, I must say the more I write the easier it becomes, I have never blogged before and never really realized how much I had inside of me, how much I had to say. xx
Mama, this is just stunningly gorgeous. I feel the way we are weaving our dreams together and supporting each other. It's like we're right before lift off.
So glad you get this and get me, much love to you, here's to lift off xx
I really do, amazingly so. Lift off is close now!
What a beautiful initiative, @ trucklife-family. It is true, love has the power of reunion and acceptance. Good job, dear!
thank you my lovely for all the encouragement you give me xx
What a beautiful piece, you write and share so beautifully!
thank you @alimamasstory xx
That would be a great place to live in, powered by love. Thank you for such a beautiful write up and vision, @trucklife-family :) wishing you all the best!
thank you @happycrazycon for your beautiful words xx
Dear @trucklife-family,
Your poem is shaped like a tree and planted in the heart of community.
It begins with a simple hope and grows and flows and ignites and takes wings then this tree is a spiritual forest fire giving birth even to the pine cones that have been dormant.
I like the love in this poem but I am honestly disgruntled about everything and about nothing. Actually I need the power of this love now more than ever. I'm really thankful for your challenge:
Many have lost that world and given up on the dream.
It would be easier to wait for someone else to make a change. Why suffer unnecessarily when things won't change anyway?
thank you so much @mineopoly for your beautiful feedback. We must never give up, change is happening all around us, it just takes time to gather people together, but our roots will be strong when the time comes xx
Yes, we know what we need to know, and the clarity is crystal. :) Your words are music to my ears, sister. You've articulated a message that is so meaningful to me, as I also surrender to the flow, participating in the Vision Quest, feeling the unity and harmony that comes with loving each other. Yes, and imagining the world we wish to see–this is precisely my hope for us as we work to co-create with the Creator and expand this Creation in a good way, through our positive intentions and inspired actions. Much love and gratitude to you!
We celebrate your Creative Spirit, and we appreciate your entry in Steemit Vision Quest.
thank you so much my friend, I feel so blessed to be part of this quest xx
I love how your poetry flows and how thought provoking it is. I wish more people would see the world like you do! ;0)
thank you @lymepoet for all these wonderful compliments xx
