To ease my fears
I write
To give them a home
To let them know they are
Safe
Heard
Loved

I get scared of the future
The unknown
Consequences of decisions
Not yet made

How will this affect my future?
My life?

I get scared of my present
The things I’m unsatisfied with

What if nothing changes?
What if I stay the same?

I get scared of the past
Coming back to haunt me

What if this affects everything?
Can it happen again?

I get stuck in a spiral
That feels never ending

Why am I still here?
Has nothing changed?

I see patterns
Longing to repeat themselves

I’m doing that thing again
Why, when it ended badly?

I put blame on myself
For enabling the hold
That the patterns and cycles
Entrance me with
They are bold

Should I run?
Should I hide?
Should I lay down and cry?
Believing that nothing will change?

I feel into my body
While my mind runs the show
With my thoughts overwhelming
They ******* and show
All my faults bright and clear
Enlightening that fear
My heart starts to tremble
My body caves near
To save itself firstly
From the fear within

Wait, my body soften murmurs
Let’s have a sip of tea

Slowly enjoying
The attention and the steam
We begin to move our bodies
To loosen and to shake
Our emotion peaks it’s head out
To join the party too
Soon tears are on the table
Bodies start to move
The fear understands
It can join in too

We all join together
We all are seen and heard
We know the best is yet to come
As our journey unfolds

We embrace the ups and downs
We yell, we scream, we laugh
We cry, we sob, we giggle
Knowing all is love

When we embrace
Each and every part
Of who we always are
We know we’re art
We know we’re love
We know life’s a journey
We know it can be tough

We also know
That tea exists
Coming together
To be and exist

Flowers smell lovely
The sun shining down
Butterflies flying
As change comes around

We can be human
We can be magic
Perspectives can shift
Just like new gadgets

I will choose to live
I will choose to love
My choice will bring me
The journey that shifts

I can trust in the guidance
Despite all I fear
For I see nature shifting
Each and every year

I see abundance surrounding
This Earth and all it’s glory

I acknowledge the faults
I embrace the music
I notice the community
I dance with the magic
