INTO THE SURRENDER

Tick tock, tick tock,
My mind moves so fast.
My heart moves so slow.
It takes too long, to let go.

I feel young,
and old.
That hasn’t changed,
as the years go.
My soul outside time,
watches me.
Tells me,
my body grows old.
What is time?
I don’t know,
anymore.

In the mirror,
my image changes.
I am me,
in different stages.

Will I ever be a mother,
one that gives birth. 
Will I ever realize,
the dreams of my youth?
Waiting,
that terrible feeling.
Stuck,
while the rest  of the universe is moving. 
I try to stop it all, 
to catch up.
My heart can be so slow,
even when,
it’s cooperating. 

Part of me is eternal,
part of me is breathless.
I know time matters,
To it I’m helpless.
I’ll choose to be grateful.
I’ll choose to fill my time,
with kindness.
I’ll choose to float,
on the waves of thoughts.
I’ll journey as far as I can go.
I’ll rest, every chance I get,
and not regret that,
at all.

It would be nice, 
to feel loved sometime.
Time is meaningless.
Time is precious.
Take your time.
Resting on the waters,
of the tide.
You will get there.

It’s a journey to explore,
not to control. 
I will take my time.
Forget about time.
Just float,
with gratitude.

INTO THE TURN

I used to rely on my heart.
It was good in turning
against those who hurt me. 
But now,
it’s turned too soft.
When I was hoping,
it would protect me.

It’s good to let go of hurt.
But you take advantage,
of how I choose to stay kind,
to you.
So I will also,
to myself,
be kinder.

INTO THE COCOON

A bird was made to fly.
But first it needs to learn,
how to.

You were made to roam,
the vast universe,
with your mind and spirit.
But first you need to learn,
how to.

Instead of learning to roam,
we all learn,
not to.

I want to unlearn that,
and really go on,
to journey.

Every time I try,
what I feel distracts me.
My tears start running,
they try to wash me.
My body starts shaking,
it tries to unbound me.
I wish I had the help,
to remind me.

We were all made to roam.
Our beloved bodies are homes,
not prisons. 
So let’s not settle for that.
Unless we really,
have to.
