My True Belonging
No
not today I said
not now
I don’t think I can handle it
too raw
too sharp
and in truth
I am afraid.
I’ll pretend you aren’t here
ignore you
carefully run away to someplace else
how long I’ve been running…
I’ve returned you to sweetness before
so break me open
it’s the only way.
No more stories for now
no more hope or shame
just the courage to stand firm
here
in this
my true belonging
where not-knowing is the balm
and the fire.
Yes
I say yes now
and truly
all is well.
…”the courage to stand firm”. I like that so much, it is the line in the sand many will never get past.
“… where not-knowing is the balm
and the fire.
Yes
I say yes now
and truly
all is well.”
…. I say Yes as well
