Are You Scared to Walk the Path of Love?

when you follow your heart
there is no room for fear,
for love follows you
like a shadow
wherever you go -
to lonely mountain tops,
breathtaking gorges,
whispering brooks in a forest,
and empty dunes in a desert;
don't run away,
don't look for cover,
why are you scared
of your deepest desire?
Yes, she'll push you and gouge you
till you're out of your senses,
she'll scathe you, and singe you,
till you wake up to your senses,
but you will know when she's done,
when you wake up each day,
and give thanks to a life
filled with love and not fear.
so wake up, hold your head high,
and let her show you the way,
for she will take you to places
where light and darkness play,
why are you scared
to walk the path of love?
when you see a shadow walk with you,
be sure there is light, and love.
