Water Over a Dam
Having gone there,
with time spent in varied and intricate
nooks and crannies,
there’s the discovery of an amazing energy
that is both novel and familiar.
It has a wildness and yet it’s tame,
a fierceness partnered with empathy.
It contains an astonishing gusto
paired with sensations of serenity
that swirl throughout the stream.
Internal exploration
provides for opportunities
to let go, let flow
and produces this
wonderfully eclectic energy.
Healing is a process,
not a singular event.
At times there is a jettison
that is liberating,
feels so very good.
At other times there is confusion,
when what was once regarded as right
transmutes to wrong,
and vice versa.
Like water over a dam
trappings and notions plunge away,
debris carried to places unknown,
while residual vapors hover
to be reintegrated
or let go when the time is right.
Discombobulating,
transforming
invigorating,
reorienting,
liberating.
