Some days the right person comes along at the right time
and reaches inside the churning maw of chaos and doubt
we have slipped within
opens a hand
we take hold
and choose to walk out
It's funny how a few well-placed words can offer clarity
and the world tilts
slides open
a sigh escapes our weary hearts
and we realize we've been holding our breath
for years
And quite suddenly we know the singular joy
of sitting deeply in the stillness of our own truth
our power
our plenary selves
and reaches inside the churning maw of chaos and doubt
we have slipped within
opens a hand
we take hold
and choose to walk out
It's funny how a few well-placed words can offer clarity
and the world tilts
slides open
a sigh escapes our weary hearts
and we realize we've been holding our breath
for years
And quite suddenly we know the singular joy
of sitting deeply in the stillness of our own truth
our power
our plenary selves
Love the photo! It says so much about survival!

ReplyDeleteI'm not usually drawn to bloggy poetry. (requires too much brain power or some such), but this really spoke to me. It is beautiful Ms Wanderlust.
ReplyDeleteI rarely get that hand stretched out to pull me out of my chaos and dust though i long for it often. So when it comes (a handful of times in my life i think) it is deeply affecting.
