Letting go of trying
to sort and heal,
letting go of everything
I have been trying
to process,
trusting the pieces
to fall back down
a little at a time,
in a way I can understand,
I enter a state
of prayer.
To Continue On
I remembered
how I held
all of the pieces
of my own heart,
not knowing
how they would ever
fit together.
And I found comfort
in having taken the journey
and hope in my determination
to continue on
in a healing world.
No Words
I found there were
sacred moments
for which there were
no words.
And there was
nothing to do
but hold
and wait for their return.
With Love and Compassion
I found I could hold
all that appeared
in my heart
and in the world
with love
and compassion
as it transformed
naturally —
quieting my soul
a little more
with each step.
This Silent Prayer
In connection with
the purest truth
that is my true being,
I hold this silent prayer
in my deepest heart
with purest intent
and gratitude
for all that has
found its way
to me
and all that is becoming.
Amen.
Holding
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.
A Gentler Way of Being
At a certain point,
it seemed most fitting
to move in the direction
of emptiness.
And so I settled in
to the silence
within
and a gentler way
of being.
Within My Heart
I found a little magic
hidden just beneath
what could be seen
or understood.
And so I settled in
to the quiet space
within my heart
where there was nothing
to heal or sort.
To Focus Here
Just a little past
what could be known
in the usual way,
rooted firmly
in my deepest heart,
I dared to continue
to keep my focus here —
just to see
what might happen.
Little Treasures
It wasn’t always graceful,
but I learned
how to hold on
a little more tightly
when needed
and to let go
of preformed ideas
of how life should go.
And it was
the subtle little treasures
I would have missed
by taking an easier path
that always brought me
back to my true essence
and to peace.
