Be Still

it had to shift
no other choice
i asked
was given

evolution is uncomfortable
past the tears
beyond 'i should' and 'i wish'
from there release can be revered

acknowledging this fearlessness
there is compassion
it's not for the faint of heart
i do it for me- for us

i'm listening
holding Soul's candle
barely seeing what's ahead
trusting the steps of consciousness

i will breath this
for i am breath
i am that which breaths me
filling me to capacity

through the disassembling pieces
i practice my discipline
watching them float
screaming their cries

paying attention
without mending or wishing
simply listening
trusting the inner flame

there wisdom whispers
"Be still."
