Hard to Resist

Hard to Resist
The desire to jump in the fire.
To “fix” the things that are unbroken.

Hard to Resist
peeling back the petals
to make the rose bloom faster.

Hard to Resist
rushing the ebbing tide
pressing it to flow back in again

Hard to Resist
the natural unfolding
To “undo” the things that were fine the first time.

For a blissful moment
I find myself able to breathe through all of this…resisting the resistance.
