BUZZ (crisis averted) Bare minimum Surviving through this day Another gift I am ruined by My heart swells Gratitude, awareness, knowing I am familiar Blessings all around Abundance I see it all, I love it all I am blessed: known fact Beauty surrounds me No matter Unfortunate curse The ache, the dark, the emptiness It plagues from within Knowing the secret, the way Lacking the action, the balance The proper brain chemistry Resolute desires meet desolate efforts What's left? Surrender To everything, to every moment Big and small *mostly small* Growing fonder of present Each simple acknowledgement Brings me back to just being I need nothing in the same way I need to be So for now, that is what I'll do I will practice tirelessly because this matters It can feel silly Throwing it back to Kindergarten Building blocks I've long lost my solid foundation My tower: a sad game of Jenga I sit in the grass Green, soft, wet In need of a good mowing *relatable* A bee is pollinating nearby In this moment I feel relief I can escape It's simple: I am with the bee In this way I can lose myself I forget, I am not me I am the bee
