Day 3 — December 31 Days of Poetry
In an effort to free all the words that seem to endless be spilling out currently, I’ve endeavored on 30 days of poetry for the month of December giving myself 20 minutes per day. And the writing prompt list was found on Pinterest. I choose to write with my right hand then switch to the left and occasionally back to the right; this transition is indicated by ::::::: breaks.
Circumstances
Variables that end in differing
Results
Perfection sought in fervor
Disappointment from lack of discipline
Perhaps instead misalignment
Non-judgment
Simple recognition, acceptance
Resignation
Pivot with a resolve to begin again
Confused but hopeful
Clarity in subtle signs
Reset, rebalance, recalibrate
Trust
Into the unfolding
:::::::
Rarely satisfaction, equanimity, or
Santosha
Where does the contentment live
Why does it seem so fleeting
Who is able to hold it with grace and humility
Teach me
Show me how you found it, made it,
Keep it
Bring me to this sacred ground of
Gratitude
Let me lay amongst the abundance
Help me accept that everything is
Change & energy, never stagnant
In slowness, in quietude, the otherwise
Imperceivable shifts occur
There / here is the magic
In your withdrawing
If you’re listening
If you’re open
And as soon as it is obvious
You are to thank it for it’s
Existence
Then release and let go
So that new space is created
And opened as the
Other can be perceived, celebrated
Understood, experienced and
released
:::::::
Play with the ideas, the concepts
Remember, integrate, practice and
Show
But then let go of the control
Surrender into the flow
Don’t stop up it’s power no matter
How overwhelming it may be
Relax there’s nothing to fear
For it exists and moves without
Your awareness
You are the guest, the passenger
Not the driver/conductor
Be of service to it
It is not about you personally
It is about it finding a way for
It to flow where it needs to go
Your choice is in whether you
Are the conduit to get it there
Can you open, empty, receive, purge
Enough to get in alignment and
Put yourself there
Can you release and put down your
Attachments to the thoughts, feelings
Emotions of what it “looks” like
In order to — simply be the space
