Speaking the Power of Truth
By Martha MacFarland
I see a person who caresses
And manipulates language
In a game of word play
But do they realize
The power they possess
In their own language?
The power to choose their own words
The power to create their own reality
In their words that bring freedom
For their words transform
The energy around them that they so desire
Resounding the worthiness and wholeness within them
Reminding them
That all answers lie within
Nourishing the declarations that feed their soul
Independent from external voices around them
They journey within to find wisdom
To understand the duality of life
Between self denial and self indulgence
Between self criticism and self love
Between the extremes that tip them off balance
For power, wisdom, and inner strength come
When they focus on their language
Mastering the words they speak
Observing their thoughts
Crafting their language
To match what they want
For what they send out to the world
They attract back to themselves
So each day they make a conscious choice
To focus their thoughts in this very present moment
To see the beauty in the contrast of life
To see what they do want by what they don’t want
In order for them to affirm the desires of their heart
To accept, to believe
They deserve this tree of life
That grows through the power of speaking their truth
Knowing the seeds of language they plant today
Will bloom with the growing season
And these inner lessons will be their life’s work
To visualize a life of abundance
Of wholeness, of worthiness
So they speak their truth
Today, tomorrow, and the day after
And watch the natural flow of their energy
And they find peace within themselves
In order that they find peace with others
And they forgive themselves
In order that they may forgive others
And they heal themselves
In order to share healing with others
And they love themselves
In order that they may love others
For the person who caresses
And manipulates language
In a game of word play
Knows to speak their truth
In the power of their words
To create their own reality
