I Swear

I Swear

sometimes i swear
caught by the unexpected
usually out loud
then withdrawn
often followed by an apology
an apology to self

perhaps still maturing
to where there is total acceptance
being the observer
from the stillness within

from that place we swear to upholding
that promise to our soul purpose
so often feeling that allegiance
to the presence within
