The Journey to the Underworld
“The Journey to the Underworld”
by Nicole Costa
The journey
To
The Underworld
It gets dark
And
It gets cold
To venture there
One must
Learn
To be bold
To truly
Know thyself
One must
Be brave
I know
You’re scared
But
You dive in
Anyway
Your heart
Is
Racing
As you stare
Your demons
In the face
You are
Breaking
Family cycles
Changing
Old world ways
Nurturing
The shadows
Designing
A new pattern
Shining light
Into the darkness
Where there once
Was none
Healing
Ancient wounds
Showing enemies
Divine love
Teaching
By example
How to rise
Above
Man o’ War
He stung me
But not
To do me harm
To show me how
To
Slow down
Go with
The flow
Let thy
Tentacles out
Send Reiki love
You’re the
Master now
Jupiter
Is on
Its way out
As planets dim
In the night
Until the rise
Of
Saturn
In the East
You must
Be the light
You must
Be the love
Until the return
Of
Venus
Trust in
Mother Nature
Ride the current
Do not resist it
She will provide
She will feed us
Great Spirit
Give me strength
To turn
Lifetimes
Of
Anger
Into
Love
To bear light
To all
The darkest parts
Of
Everything
That ever was
Transmute all
That is shady
May they
See you
When they
Look at me
And
Not
The family
History
May you
Make known
To me
The mysteries
Bring clarity
To overcome
What
Triggers me
That I
May love
My enemies
And
My family
Lineage
All the darkest
Parts of me
To forgive
Myself
To forgive
Everyone
To be
The light
Of
Ten thousand suns
To walk
In my fire
To step into
My power
To wear
My feather
And
Share my story
For
This is my hour
That all
May know
The source
Of
Strength
Within me
It is God
The Universe
Collective
Consciousness
My Higher Self
Divinity
The Ancestors
Ascended Masters
Loved ones
And
Spirit Guides
These are
Just a few
Of
My friends
That journey
By my side
Both
Astral and Sea
Creatures
Celestial beings
They are
My teachers
The Angels
And
The Sages
Yogis
Of
The past
And
Present
Days
Pandit Jis
And
Swamis
Krishnas
And
Ramas
Gurus
And
Dasses
Jesus
The twelve
Apostles
Buddha
And
Mohamed
The Prophet
The Divine
Infinite Being
To witness
Heaven and Hell
While
Still living
I share
This knowledge
With you
That you
May know
Them too
If you are open
They will reveal
Themselves to you
Don’t forget
The
Animal Totems
They have
Spirits too
There is
No need
To
Fear
You are dialed
Into
The Matrix
You have
An abundance
Of
Light Workers
That draw near
And
Chief Running Bear
They will
Guide you
Through
The darkness
Help see you
To the light
For
You were
Not given
A
Spirit of fear
But of power
And of love
And of
A sound mind
So don’t give up
The fight
You will
Discover
Your most
Authentic Self
In
The darkest hours
Of
The night
I have prayed
For you
That your faith
Will not fail
And
When you return
May you strengthen
Your
Brothers and Sisters
That they too
Can prevail
I have
A deep reverence
For
Goddess Lakshmi
She is here
With my blessings
What a long
Strange trip
It’s been
This lifetime
Of
Lessons
I’ve journeyed
Through
The Underworld
And
Come out
The other side
With
An attitude
Of
Gratitude
For
This precious
Gift of life
Pain was once
Your friend
It reminded you
That you were
Still alive
But
It no longer serves
Your highest good
Time to lay
It all aside
Give thanks
Everyday
Even when life
Gets tough
It’s now
A time
To thrive
Because
Survival
Is not enough
Forgive
Yourself and others
For
It frees us
From the bondage
Of
Karmic wrath
May this be
My prayer
For all
Seekers
That dare to know
The Spirit path
