Know thyself

Know thyself 

A journey 

Like no other 

Perhaps

the challenging of them all

and all that has been said 

and done

the journey was my own

This journey

led me to travel 

paths and manes 

to the heart 

But the challenge 

at first 

sparked the trigger 

to start 

of anew 

The journey

the one gone 

like a lifetime

set apart from the cusp of change 

I carried baggage 

the weight 

deep and vast

without measure 

by heart I was afloat 

but sinking deep under 

sensations

With this journey 

I tried 

not once upon a time 

but many upon a time

to set the time

spark it to change

bit something within

no matter how hard I tried?

the spark sizzled

the magnitude,

of the currents

stopped a heart 

form rising 

Accepting my journey 

you need to sit deep

free with flow

riding the currents

rising along the rapid

going down to the depths

where you feel

the nature 

you've been escaping

Knowing thy journey 

is knowing thyself 

Trigger to behaviours 

I was lost in consumption 

overeating and oversensing

the overwhelming that drove 

a drive to escape

motions

from 

the shame 

to the 

dread of asking why 

lost in the crumbs 

This journey was mine

mine alone

but still connected 

with a community 

one of shared hearts

The connection knows no stigma

loves without condition

The journey set me free

sitting at the cusp of change 

with an intensity 

a fire ready to start

over the cusp

I began

with a love 

that brought me to life

out from the depths 

Like an opening,

the waters

opened a heart 

and from there

I knew myself

I brushed the crumbs away

reclaiming a journey
