Hug Her Sharp Edges

By -

She was peace,
Riding on his chaos, 
Swallowed in his turmoil
Shrivelled in disbelief 
Tearing at the seams with doubt
Wondering why 
Why must she carry weights not meant for her? 
Why must she hold the reins, be the anchor? 
Why
Why must she,
As chaos embodied her
He was flying while she was drowning.

She was peace
Standing in place, riveted
Keeping that which consumed her 
Shrouded in disconnect
Sharp-tongued and strong-willed
Wondering when 
When will she put down the weights not her own
When will she hold the reins, be the anchor
When
When will she
As hope overtook her
He was flying while she was rising.

She is peace
Arriving comes full cycle
Starting in the middle
She learned to live in the moment
Blooming in the place life placed her
Wondering ceased
The weights she carried, placed in Mercy's seat
Holding the reins, being the anchor, stronger for it
There
Becoming whole
As faith filled the void
She was flying just as he was.

Scary, isn't it This place  This risk-taking place Where you step off that comfort train Leave your attachments behind. This place,  This Anything Can Happen place Where you are excited and yet dreadful Acceptance is paramount In this place     @Sue.Ketter

Where I'm going

Only I can decide who I am So I took a step forward Leaving the place that hugged me I decided, what I want to do, I will do now No more waiting for later, later made me complacent Leaping into the unknown, moving ahead to go back in time To be who I was meant to be. The universe will catch me, I hope My heart's pounding, I want to say a mile a minute but I'm over clichés There's a little T-rex in all of us apparently So I will roar through these pages To find my place in the vastness of space. Got lost for a while there, fitting in was not for me  Neither was standing out, yet not invisible either Like an elephant in the Arctic Who knows, maybe this elephant can survive the Arctic. I am born of love and loss and everything in between I have traveled far to come full circle I am become a revenant This purpose I seek, my soul embrace thee.     @Sue.Ketter

FOR ONE MOMENT

For one moment, Just a single moment, The music played, Like it would never end, Sweet, sensual, and soothing, Yet so powerful. For one moment, Just a single moment, Her heart stopped She couldn't breathe, Felt like forever, Yet so little a time. For one moment, Just a single moment, The moon and the sun Shone brighter, The light so illuminating, Yet so subtle. For one moment, Just a single moment, The earth stood still, For the lovers, It was forever Yet just a short time. For one moment, For that single moment, She believed, That love exists for everyone, To hold and to cherish, Yet be held and be cherished.         @Sue.Ketter
