Pull Your Feet From the Mud

Life and its secret strengths released

Pull Your Feet From the Mud

 

Same old tune, new rhythm, yours and mine. 

Let our hearts beat for this life beat.

Hum, hum, hum- Thrum, thrum, thrum;

 rise, fall, within new season’s ebb and flow.

Wide awareness, new born permission-

 so quiet, so submissive; but no more.

Looking for a heart link, I’ve left the ground.

 My heart cries; “wait for me!

Can we sit face to face and simply be?

 Feel me? I feel you. Your colors entice.

I cry for every infatuation.

 

Seat’s edge is a pushing prodding pain.

One jump will be my last step, just for now. 

Possession I release. What do I want?

Sometimes my cautious heart has run away.

 Fear is a warning. I know better.

Let it mend, inner pain bullet holes are healing.  

Step back, step back.

Lesson upon lesson I want to learn

 within new opportunities to become balanced.

This school of hard testing

 is embraced, and then released.

 Pull my feet from the mud.

Questioning my own understanding and hoping for new strength.

Yes. One day while at a local coffee place I wrote this one. I was thinking a lot and realized that our inner being is always changing. This one was the result. It was kind of hard to write. Blessings to you for your review and taking some time to share your viewpoint. Your very kind.

I enjoyed the poem. Old person logic. Good logic and you are welcome Kathy.

Good hearted thinking...the kind that helps others and that is something this old world needs more of.

the sounds of just being.....of trying to find that inner peace. Not so much what we want, but what we need.
Nicely done.
