Ode to a Friend
What if I really let you be you,
What if you really let me be me,
What if we met without pretenses,
Who would we then see?
What if I let my light shine through,
What if you let your light shine too,
What if we honored our inner beings,
Who we really are at our core?
What if I dropped the games,
What if you dropped the acts,
What if we stopped coming at each other,
from preconceived notions of lack?
What if I dropped my prejudice,
What if you stopped your bias,
What if we dissolved learned patterns,
and dropped old worn out beliefs?
What if we met higher self to higher self,
What if we met soul to soul,
What would we then say to each other,
How would we then treat each other?
What if we treated each other as ancient soul beings,
What if we honored our soul explorers,
What if we let the ego patterns drop,
Would we then allow the love to come through?
What if we allowed for genuine caring,
What if we really listened,
What if we felt true compassion,
What would we then share?What if we took off the masks,
What if we lived authentic,
What if we lived from our inner light,
Who would we be then?What if we allowed ourselves to be,
What if we felt safe in doing that,
What if we stopped judging ourselves,
Who would we find in each other?
What would our world be like then,
What would we discover,
What would we express to each other,
How would we grow and evolve?
What if the facades fell away,
What if there was no me versus you,
What if there was no belief in separate,
How would we live from the Truth?
What if the stress fell away,
What if our moods lifted in relief,
What if we allowed inner peace,
What if we gave and lived only from love?
What if we met soul to soul,
What would the world be like then,
How would family’s change,
How would nations change?
What if the divine light shined out from within,
What if we listened to its wisdom,
What if we allowed the authentic,
What would transform and transpire?
What if I allowed you to be you,
What if you allowed me to be me,
Who would we then be,
What would we then see?
