Moments matter
Vanessa Bebeau Aug 2018
The 11th hour is the Tai Chi line of time
The critical moment
when reaction occurs.
Indefinable motion picking up speed
Every step increasing velocity
The obvious and inevitably
The ****** and the culmination

Everything which has come before.
picking up speed and increasing in velocity

Consequence
Vanessa Bebeau Aug 2018
I’ve come so far

Did it leave a mark?
How big is the scar?
Somehow I misunderstood and the fragility was mine

Space and time immortal in the moment
But the moment after that...
is the one which won't relent
An unfortunate revelation

The Path
Vanessa Bebeau Aug 2018
Mediation is an art
                 Combining mind and heart
              sitting still and saying om...

    Dancing, biking, making love..OD-ing on adrenaline

             Whatever clears your head of thought
              And brings you to a centered spot

                                         Which path to take is you decision
                                        I can only offer words of wisdom
I wrote this poem years ago. It recently resurfaced with new relevance to my life.

Expect the unexpected
Vanessa Bebeau Aug 2018
I started this way, but to my dismay, life had other plans

A day like any other, to make and break the world


At the time it seemed to be.. Rationality,

As if I had a choice, I thought I took a chance

Renouncing doubt I dove in,

To pay the fee and get it out, the finite and allotted amount.

Alas it doesn't work that way.


15 years have come and gone,

From this side of forever... it doesn't seem so long

I didn't realize at the time

This story would be mine

— The End —
