CIRCLE OF SUPPORT

When powerlessness strikes, sudden as thunder,
and a knot of fear tightens around my throat,
I remember: I'm no longer under
that distant childhood — where it hurt the most.

I rise to my feet, and find my center.
Inhale... exhale... I stand up taller.
I call my support, and it gently enters —
I feel the heavy weight grow smaller.

Care stood quietly there beside me,
steady and calm, like the golden sun,
in her warmth, I feel completely free,
and all my worries come undone.

Through a prism of light, I see Wisdom draw near,
in her eyes — every road begins.
Her voice says: "Every hardship will clear,
there's a solution — and time always wins."

I look now at what once seemed a disaster,
through eyes made deep with wisdom and might:
I feel Protection standing ever after —
an unseen dome of love, pure and bright.

I am, I'm here, no longer bound by chains,
and I can find my way and break on through,
out of the dead-end of powerlessness and pain,
my circle of support grows wider, whole and new!
