A metaphysical happening…

She is alone. Adrift. Wondering what lies before her.

The contemplation. All the feelings amassed in her soul:

The humbleness of her life: simple but so complex.

A feeling of aloneness …. Yet a feeling of hope.

Her inner voice tells her, “Do not despair, there is hope… for you are not alone, my Soul Child…”

She struggles to find that simple thread to hang on to. She tells herself, “Don’t overthink. It’s right there… in front of you….”

See it???? Reach out… hold on… the ride may get crazy, but hold on. Just this one more time…. Bet against the odds.

She closes her eyes and hangs on for dear life. Patience and turmoil happening simultaneously.

It’s like a storm surge and nowhere to hide… the fear envelopes her, she is frozen without movement… but she can still see… she can still hear…. She can still taste!

She begins to breathe…. Deep… deeper… until she feels every part of herself relaxing.

Wake up! A slight breeze blows through her bedroom window… she can hear the hummingbirds, she sees the sun rising… she tastes the salty air on her lips.

“Thank you Mother Earth and the Universe,” she whispered to herself while tears of gratitude fell from her checks…. “Thank you for reminding me that I possess all the tools in my toolbox so there will never be a need for me to feel fear again.” 🙏 11/11/22 ‘lil dot

With on us, I truly believe, we all have what is needed to survive most of what life throws at us. Some just choose not to look that deeply. I do however, realize it is not as easy as it sounds. it takes a lot of soul searching and a lot of faith and not everyone is willing to take that chance. Your poem speaks loudly but calmly. It sends its message upon the wings of hummingbirds. It is beautifully written.
