Above, as planets realign
(with neither in their given sign),
the wounded warriors return,
and lessons, which they came to learn,
could end the suffering that we
have often spawned collectively.
No longer needing to act out
our conflicts on this earthly route,
the sage will activate within
his tender, inner Gunga Din,
who knows compassion wins the war
that, deep inside, we all abhor.
For Love is at the core
of every speck of astral dust.
Our challenge is to learn to trust
that what has come before
no longer needs to rule.
Our self-forgiveness is the tool
that opens up the door
to peace and so much more!
The wounded warrior inside
(a part of self that’s oft denied)
must come to terms with what it cost —
the hopes, the dreams, and all he lost —
by letting hubris be his guide
in waging wars unjustified.
Though repelled by imperfection,
therein lies the gift.
You simply need to shift
your oh-so-limited perception
to a broader point of view
and discover the higher purpose
of your role in this human circus —
what you’re really here to do!
Embrace your wound, and you will find
the prize to which you once were blind:
Your own Achilles’ heel’s the gate,
the force that turns the Wheel of Fate.
Though humans scorn all ‘fatal flaws,’
they give our mortal lives their cause.
For Love has always been;
it’s at the heart of astral dust.
Your mission is to learn to trust
that, while in human form
(extant on planet earth),
accepting your intrinsic worth
allows you to transform
the warrior within.
The Source of self-enlightenment
is cloaked in human skin.
