Dear old soul light worker
If you are weary
Of the ways of the world
And you have grown
Tired of all the conflicts
That you retreat
You have learnt the hard way
To carry your light
With a protective guard
And yet keep open your heart
For love to flow through you
To you and others.
This is the duality that people
Around you may misunderstand
They see you and yet don’t see you
Because you need to protect
That part of you which is divine
As that is what is truly precious
And what as a light worker you
Have to use wisely
On the other hand
Your heart is always open
And ready to be broken
In fact has been millions of times
From the plight of this world
For the dolphins and street kids
To the endangered species and communities
But as still your heart breaks
It’s your light that sustains
All efforts and desires
For a greater good
That you can work silently towards
Both in your prayers and your actions
Yes you are an old soul light worker
If you work silently without seeking
Any admiration or reward
You feel fulfillment in the small things
Of beauty and nurturing
You don’t have to save the world
Just know you too have a role
And a place in this drama
To bring a little light and a little joy
You can be noble without looking the part.
You are an old soul light worker if
Others misunderstand and fill your silence
With all kinds of stories about you
Because they haven’t seen such an authentic sight.
And you let others misunderstand you
Because that is not your point
Of being or doing.
You are here to do your soul’s bidding
Until you have learnt whatever you
Came here to learn.
You may feel lonely at times
Like no one truly sees or really cares
Because you too need your soul tribe
That is when you need to step out
With your bare feet on the grass
Feel Gaia
Holding you quite literally
You’ll feel her love and the birds
And butterflies will dance all around you
To tell you yes you too are dearly loved.
Please continue to do your life’s work
And if others come and want to give you a hand.
Do let them.
For we are all just learning.
And share your knowledge freely
They may need some nourishment
But remember to accept also
Others’ nourishment too.
You don’t always have to be the giver
The superior one.
Be happy and grateful to receive the kindness of this world too at times.
It’s not easy for such a one as you
But know that it will restore you
It does not always mean that others have
A power over you.
Old soul light worker your light is
Deeply needed and appreciated at this time.
From all those that are hidden and unseen
But in your heart are felt and known
To be true.
