Broken down
Again releasing the chains
of oppressive
fears
loneliness
disconnection
confusion.
allowing the pain to wash
over and through
moving again
no longer stuck
the emotions
move on
like they wanted to all along
the vortex spins
the web taken down
its energy collected
broken into component parts
silken lines cast out again
caught in the wind
sailing then finding a new hold
listening to the inner voice
it’s time for a new space
in which to build
doing as i am told
i begin to weave the warp
holding fast to the weft
creating a new center
upon which to rest
being still i can feel
the residual waves wash over
at the center the spinning ceases
building a bridge of connection
from each outward reaching thread
no longer filled with dread
allowing my chalice to fill with
love & hope now, instead
much as the orb weaver
breaks down each day
to build again that night
i build a new place
in which to find right
the blessings, the grace
keep me from falling on my face
recognizing magic and miracles
move at their own pace
from the slug i see
the path of magic
and not allowing the shadows
to take hold of my soul
allowing them to be
without frightening me
as i allow, i become
just who i’m meant to be
molting the lies, i am now free

This is quite likely my favorite piece of yours so far. I could easily be biased knowing the hidden details that lie therein, but the language and rhythm is like magic all its own. A beautiful piece.

Thank you, Stephen! Yes, perhaps you are biased… I’ll allow 😉
