Closed
Constricted
Cold
Blind
Needing More
Open
Beautiful
Joyful
Chaotic
So many voices and sights!
Empathic
Deep emotional connections
Their essence, floods within
Each so beautiful, so broken and so unique
Drowning in a sea of others
Realization
One who does not know how to love
Without a complete loss of the self
Completely without anchor
Tossed by each new wave
Pulled under by the current
In the end, in one way or another
They all go
Leaving her tiny, cold and bereft
White knuckled grip, seeking a firm hold
Thrashing and fighting the current
Going under, choking
Realization dawns
STOP!
Swim WITH the current
Long way back to shore
But easier now
One with the flow of the sea
Standing on the shore
Dripping wet, shaking
Looking back at it all
Not all good, and not all bad
Now seeking balance
So many to love
Cherish them for whatever time is given
And love each for the gift they are
Seek not to reinvent them
Nor sculpt them as you crave them to be
Simply accept and be grateful
The joy each one is
Life to life
Time in the quiet
Time within
Walking in nature
Hear the music she shares
Know first the self
Naked
Clothed not by should, by want, nor by wish
No longer held back by fear
Simply taking each day
For the joy that it is
Saying YES each morning
Grateful even for the hard lessons
Despite their discomfort
There is freedom in the truth
YES
