I settled down
a little more deeply in
to my heart,
holding all I found
outside of me
and within,
no longer wishing
to be some place else,
longing only
to know that very moment
a little more intimately.
Category: Holding
Beneath the Surface
Sometimes I hold
just to see
what is here,
beneath the surface —
where it is safe now
to disappear.
As It Is
I hold
what is here
with love,
without needing
to sort
or heal.
I hold it
as it is,
allowing space
for the natural
transformation
into something else.
A Million Words Unspoken
I held
all that needed holding
in my own heart.
There were notes
and healers
and insights.
There were sleepless nights
and more questions
and a million words unspoken.
There was letting go
and returning.
But looking back,
there was only the holding.
Something Beautiful
I found in me
a tender place,
a vulnerability —
the place of
my deepest pain,
beyond my own personal
pain —
passed to me
in hope that I would
have the courage
to honor and let go
of all that was
no longer needed —
to hold
all that was left
with all that appeared
for as long as it took
to transform itself
into something beautiful.
Just Beyond
I hold this space
just beyond the noise
and struggles
of being
in a healing world.
And when your own
true voice
seems so far,
remember a quiet prayer
was written
in this place for you.
