NYE 2019
I don’t need to narrate this
I’ve discovered
That my mind thrives
In the unknown
And seldom feels the need
To find a way
To be understood
Not anymore
But I will write this down
For perhaps you need to know
That someone
Understands you
Life has a way
Of leading you in circles
Back to yourself
Where you’ll find yourself
As you were
As a child
An innocent
Looking for someone they can trust
To care for them
Guide them
To show them love
And the only thing they want
The only thing they truly need
Is for you to feel it in your bones
That you are that person
Do you trust yourself to heal yourself?
It starts with a breath
Develops into a confidence
That what you feel is true
And that what you’ve been told
Is a mere suggestion
Subject to change
It’s welcome to fall away
And make room
For you to feel without judgment
And draw from the infinite well of love
That’s been masked beneath
The fear of finding out
You are the healer
And the obstructionist
The violence
And the grace
May you silence the stories
Draw kindness into your lungs
And let it flow freely
To every feeling
Every doubt
Every wall ever built
Until you can sit alone
And feel the connection
To all that’s been ignored
And offer love to rough edges
Give them the room to expand
Into the gift
That you already are
That you always have been
