Safe place (inspired by We Write Poems)

In the midst of the chaos

The pain and the fear

There’s a safe place

Always near, always here

Between what was

And what will be

The present moment

Is waiting for me

To let go of my thoughts

To relax with what is

Apart from right now

Nothing exists

The beauty of imperfection

I am not perfect

I stopped trying to be

Neither are you

And now that’s okay with me

Lost

I have entered the depths

Without a guide

It’s full of life down here

Thriving and throbbing

The creatures are holding on to me

Trying to pull me in deeper

I pull back and run

Down one way and then another

I’ve lost my path

My heart where are you

I cannot hear you beat

I scream and cry

I need to find a way out

But I’ve lost my guide

My heart is silent
