floodgates of emotion

like a floodgate at times -

me pushing from one direction

and then another -

am i trying to break the dam

or let the dam break me?

if i could just let myself be taken

by the tides that ebb & flow,

i would be one with the water,

at peace amongst the waves

of my own creation…

forever loved

by that which knows no bounds on love,

unconditional and unwavering -

nature knows me best -

the trees teach me how to rest

while the stream

opens the realms to my dreams.

we seem to be in a time of great denial -

and a time of ultra sensitivity-

how do we find our way

through the thicket of confusion?

we let the waters flow,

we let the emotions be known,

we remember what it means

to communicate with great care -

we offer ourselves and each other

respite from our own illusions -

fantasies built on what our hearts desire

but what our wounds will self direct

if left unchecked.

and maybe this needs to be the case,

maybe we need to slow the race,

face ourselves and each other

with eyes that can truly see.
