Be still & Know

9/15/2022

 
I feel the arms of depression
reaching for my soul
​pulling me into its cave of darkness
a narrow hopeless hole

a cavern of worry and fear

future whats ifs and past should haves
​

spiraling passages 
suffocate my soul
burying me 
until I can't move anymore

How do I stop the tears?
calm the racing heart?
motivate body and mind?
save this drowning gut?

How quickly my world has changed
joy and perspective vanished
love and abundance withheld

I recognize this place 
I used to call home

where I numb my pain 
under the false security blanket of inaction

my eyes are useless here
the light shut out by fear

I need to find my way back home
I need to be still and
Know...

I'll break down this cave
one stone at a time
until it becomes a mountain of rocks
and then I'll start my climb 

with love as my compass
and presence my light
I will walk this path of uncertainty
faithfully

further and further away 
from this cage of fear 
I'll find my true home again and again

where the sky is my ceiling
and love my truth


I will know I have reached there
when I feel the familiar warmth
of the arms of the universe

holding me
supporting me

where my soul is free
and truth, my song
this is where I belong
