Sacred Embrace

By Regina Hunt


A feeling rising from deep within

most surprising places.

Belonging in this space

letting my guard down

being my true self

the person I am called to be.

Fully alive in newly discovered places

welcome washes over me.

I am at peace.

A beckoning to sit, stay awhile,

soak up the beauty

of this moment

then tuck it inside

my deepest recesses

to revisit again and again.

Soul and senses fully alive.

high energy and serene calm co-exist

lovingly honoring each other

in resonance and mutual respect

A room envelops in love

from the moment of arrival.

Warm firelight

flickering candles

or lantern glow

the feeling of lightness

of truth

the Holy in the moment.
