all life is mystery
majesty
feeling
adventures in
beautiful, heartfelt
being
softly, slowly, caressing —
so when you feel the urge
to rush, to do, to fill
some imaginary — or not imaginary —
void
the best thing you can do is
stop, breathe
and be gentle with yourself.
ask, what’s really going on here?
kindly, and with compassion
for the parts of yourself that have yet to come home.
we are skin and bone and flesh
in transit
so darling — bon voyage
float away into the abyss
try as we might,
there are some things that can’t be
explained or understood
so why try?
put down your armour —
surrender.
the only person you were fighting
was yourself.
what if it didn’t have to hurt?
