HELP
when you get this message
be ready to
lift me gently
while I melt
into your infinite
cupped hands
when you get this message
be ready to
hold me
while my eyes open
to my soul's darkness
when I tremble
when my breath shrinks inside my mouth
and my feet are rooted
from running away
be ready to
remind me
to lean on
your bed of sunshine
when I get this message
from myself
be ready to
lift me gently
while I melt
into your infinite
cupped hands
when you get this message
be ready to
hold me
while my eyes open
to my soul's darkness
when I tremble
when my breath shrinks inside my mouth
and my feet are rooted
from running away
be ready to
remind me
to lean on
your bed of sunshine
when I get this message
from myself

firebird, thank you! i am leaning on the bed of sunshine in your words here today... such a great reminder to be in communication with oneself about needs and connection. thank you!
This is a timely reminder for me today. I'm so glad I get to read your poems.
And what a wonderful visual reminder to not be afraid to stretch and use one's own wings as well.
ss: I was hoping you would find this poem today since it was inspired by your blog post on how stressed out you were feeling--a familiar state of mind here--
mb: Seems like we're often challenged by emotions, you're very sensitive about these things...I like what you said about wings!
I wanted to write something positive for us to share--it helps!
To awake each day- prepared to FORGIVE ourselves is a powerful concept- one I have trouble getting my mind around sometimes.
Why do I beat on the only thing that's truly mine? My own heart, my own psyche...I look at the darkness of my own soul and shudder- rather than embrace who I am, what I am.
Heaven help me to care for this person- ME...and love- inspite of me.
Sunshine indeed- it most certainly exists in me, in you- in all of us.
Lovely! :)
