Sweeping the Sorrows Away

Sweeping the Sorrows Away

I rise before the morning speaks,

with quiet hands and steady breath,

the weight of yesterday still clings,

like ash that will not leave the chest.

Yet in this hush I make a vow,

to cleanse the dark that held me bound,

to sweep the sorrow from my skin,

and lift my gaze from broken ground.

The light arrives in gentle threads,

it does not shout, it does not claim,

it slips between the aching thoughts,

and calls me softly by my name.

I gather hope like scattered leaves,

each fragile piece I choose to keep,

and plant them deep within my soul,

where wounded roots learned to weep.

No storm can take what I now build,

no shadow owns this heart of mine,

I shape the hours with careful fire,

and turn the ordinary divine.

Each step I take becomes a prayer,

each breath a door to something new,

I am the maker of this day,

I am the sky breaking through.

The past may whisper from behind,

with voices sharp and cold as rain,

but I have learned to let them pass,

like distant echoes without chain.

For I am not what tried to break,

nor all the nights I could not stand,

I am the strength that rose again,

with open heart and steady hand.

So let this day be clean and wide,

untouched by fear, or doubt, or dread,

I sweep away what does not serve,

and walk where brighter paths are led.

The world will meet me as I am,

not bowed, not lost, not torn apart,

but standing firm in quiet grace,

with fire reborn inside my heart.

And if the dusk should test my light,

I will not fall to shadows cast,

for I have seen what dawn can do,

and I am free of all the past.

This perfect day is mine to hold,

not flawless, no, but strong and true,

for in its breath I stand remade,

and shape it all in all I do.

Manifest

A calm, simple one you can say out loud or in your mind,

I wake with light inside me.

This day opens kindly before me.

What I need finds me with ease.

My steps are steady, my path is clear.

Good things arrive, gently and surely.

I welcome peace, I welcome joy.

Today flows in my favour.

And I am ready for it. ♥️♥️♥️
