Sometimes…

Image by Editor

Sometimes everything just feels:

heavy,

overbearing,

weighed down,

never ending,

haunting,

suffocating.

Glazed and yet too bright.

Constrained and yet too free.

Sometimes I just feel everything

all at once.

It comes rushing forward.

Grasping me by the shoulders

and shaking;

vigourously.

But then the light surges forth

and everything feels:

calm again,

collected,

simple,

easy,

freeing.

like the light has come flooding back.

like dreams are possible,

and hope is real

sometimes a weight lifts

and I no longer feel

lost or misunderstood,

but

seen and accepted.

its rare, but wonderful.

The feeling of warmth

the gush of a gentle breeze.

Those moment of pure acceptance.

I don’t feel the need to

explain

or justify.

I just am

and that is ok.
