The Sound

Waking with an ache in my heart
Music settles me but reminds me of you
and what has been lost
What do we do now?
How do we navigate this space with our hearts broken and minds wandering?
How does anyone begin again?
Surely we are not the same and yet our hands have not changed but our voice is different
When we speak now there is a different sound, the sound of grief,
the sound of what will never be again and a shift in tone that will remain.
Let my broken voice and heart connect to you so that I have the courage to begin again.

Manifestation

Manifesting what?
Abundance, stability, support
All to help you navigate this crazy life
The push-pull between wanting and letting go
What is the magic formula?
Endless searching and studying those who’ve “made it”
How did they do it? What am I doing wrong?
Always striving and pushing forward
The secret to success is found here
I’m tired
I’m tired of following you and your way
What is my way?
What is our way?
An interconnected mess
When will this soul settle down
And finally realize this is it?
Even if it feels like not enough.
I don’t begrudge you of your intentions and goals
I only remind you and myself that with every dream, every pursuit
You must hold with it
The wanting and then it’s letting go.
