Lost

Lost
lost in the density of all that surrounds
forgetting to centre to receive the inbound
sometimes exhaustion will have its own way
so this is to remind us to come home and stay

All Your Pain

All Your Pain
take all your pain
to the table
spread it out
so as to disable
all the attitudes
all the framing
into stories that are
composed of blaming
blaming of self
blaming of others
sometimes of circumstances
or not getting our druthers
don’t cover them up
lay them bare
take time to understand
and to care
ease them along
to full disclosure
encourage them to speak
so they may have closure
then let them go
one by one
release the pain
the stories unspun
dust off that table
release the past
a pain-free new journey
has now been cast
move into it
you are free to be
look into the mirror
meet the new you
the new you that you see

Waves of the Mar

Waves of the Mar
listen and feel
the waves are breathing us
steady, pulsating
for we’re on the cusp
surfing each wave
balancing our position
until the curve flattens out
to that point of transition
then we’re transported
back to ride the next wave
a pattern is emerging
to choose convex or concave
travel outward
travel inward
travel both as the wave
experiencing newness
as a wave will behave
