I wrote this poem after having gone through an intense voyage within...
It was a
time when my soul was calling out to me to take that final dive into cleansing me
of what no longer serves me, and a request for me to step into the dark energy
that most are afraid of. It’s not the dark as in negative, but the dark from
which one is rebirthed. It’s that fiery, passionate, feminine place of where
the Goddess resides.
I had to go through a period of deep confusion in order to
begin to understand who I am, who I’m here to be, and who I’m here to serve.
Once I let go and allowed myself to be gently guided, I was able to finally
arise as the woman I truly am - unafraid.
I'm
Not Afraid
To
enter the darkness of my soul
I'm
not afraid
Of
my soul's desire for freedom
I'm
not afraid
To
explore the dark parts of myself
I'm
not afraid
Of
my passion
My
desires
My
fire
My
womanhood
The
Priestess Goddess within me
I'm
not afraid
To
lose myself
When
I know that I'm going to find myself
I'm
not afraid
To
lose control
When
I know that
Control
is of the ego
I'm
not afraid
Of
my passion
My
desires
My
womanhood
The
Feminine Warrior within me
I'm
not afraid
Of
my intensity
When
I know that
It's
my intensity that
Helps
me be who I am - to the fullest
I'm
not afraid
To
step into my power
When
I know that
Power
is the vehicle that
Helps
me to be who I am - to the fullest
I'm
not afraid
Of
my passion
My
desires
My
womanhood
The
Gentle Queen within me
I'm
not afraid
Of
my dark womb
When
I know that
It's
my womb that
Nourishes
and delivers me
I'm
not afraid
To
die
When
I know that
Death
is the portal to life
I'm
not afraid
To
open my heart
When
I know that
My
heart is the portal to love
I'm
not afraid
Of
my passion
My
desires
My
womanhood
The
Compassionate Leader within me
I'm
not afraid of
Exploring
my desires
Discovering
my passion
Honoring
my womanhood
Bringing forth the light within me.
Bringing forth the light within me.

Jackie VanCampen: I am a Wise Heart Writer, which means I write wisdoms of the heart. When I write I feel as if I’m connecting with the essence of who I am. That essence is named Kahlia. She helps me access my innermost feelings and give them expression. Letters to my Daughter: A Mother’s Journey of Healing and Transformation was one such book that was birthed by the Wise Heart Writer in me. And since then, I have birthed poems and other forms of writings that speak to the Divine Feminine Goddess in each woman who reads these Wise Heart writings. It’s my greatest passion to awaken women to their beauty, worth, and knowingness through the words that come from my heart. I have been on this journey for the last 16 years and have come to appreciate the ebb and flow of the heart and its expressions through the written word. I also host a radio program called The Writer's Divine Den on Positive Living Vibrations. You are welcome to visit mywebsite here, or connect with me on Facebook, or Twitter.
