(Stone Mountain, GA)
I came alone
Although not without help
As if a cyclone
Swirling sent me with a yelp.
From my cozy existence
The warmth of a womb
I arrived with resistance
From the peace of a tomb.
No idea what to expect
Taking it ALL in
I admit sometimes I regret
Leaving the quiet safety within.
Of course, I see the reason
Behind my inability to stay
Still I yearn every season
Looking for a way
To find a quiet still place
In a world I remember
Getting out of the race
An opportunity to surrender.
Releasing all tension
And negativity I've taken on
Focusing my attention
Before I come upon.
The next phase I travel
Challenging me to awaken
Seeking to unravel
My inner voice lies forsaken
The part of me that knows
There is no need to worry
Perhaps I came to write prose,
In any case there is no hurry.
