When the moon falls down
the tides change
the air shifts
things are changing

From rupture comes
rapture
The in-between hurts
The shift is uncomfortable

I need to change
to shift my ways
to make way for my
new way of being

I am angry with the way
Change appears to
attack me
Necessitating action
Not in my own
comfortable timing
Instead in its own
timing

I want these new changes
I’m also scared of
this shift
I need help

Dear moon,
Why are you shifting
in this manner?
I’m scared and I need
help
I’m vulnerable like
this
I know I can do this
I don’t know if I can
maintain this
I don’t really want
to commit to this
Not in this manner
When I feel I have no
choice
Please help me to release
attachment
Release the fear
Reclaim my power
Control only my own
actions
I need help
