There are times when
time is what you need
Sometimes
It’s the sound and the scent and the feel
of kindred spirits near....
Sometimes
Like the beat of a drum
The moment you catch a thought the choice is yours
Will you follow and spiral away
Or like a butterfly transform.
When retreating inwards is all you can do
Then that is your best and as valid too,
But breath,
breath in the damp on the leaves of the dew,
and drink long,
The abundance of kindness of good folk around you
A token, a gesture, one kind word
Then hold your space to remember
Roots down
Your resonance vibrating low with the ground
Honour your body your temple
just like before
Feed it, your mind and nourish your soul
Believe in yourself and all that you do
be sure to hear those that remind you
You’re fantastic as you.
