I sit and wait for the penny to drop,
for every word to create waves of recognition,
I hold back the urge to jump in and dissect
the opinions that flood over the top.
I watch as the onslaught bewitches the few
as egos fight to be heard
and the hoards of viscous thoughts
are quieten as our consciousness breaks through.
I hold the memories of all the pain that brought me here,
the realization that my old self is beyond repair.
The darkness comes and lifts the veil that held all of my insecurities at bay
I find myself exposed and seeking the warmth of a new day.
The sounds that echo within
held together by the thinnest of thread
begin to weave recognition
of all that begins to shred.
The negative thoughts that clawed their way into my being
now fall away and dissolve ,
I pick the pieces up that lay shroud upon the floor
and embrace this freeing.
The subtle change that sprouted forth
in sync with all the cycles that lay in waiting,
calling and enticing us to let go
to embrace the earth and aline our intentions to the north.
I am myself, nothing less and nothing more
This rebirth connects us to hordes that fought to break free and soar.
An AfterThought
I write this to show the many similarities between me and you!
I write this knowing we all feel the pain,
that we carry our ancestors with us and that we feel that strain,
we are here to heal , to make anew ,
we are here to create the world in which we all wish to flourish, a world in which I stand in solidarity with you!
