These posts are visible with my most recent writing at the top, but the story starts with the first post. The poems have been added more or less as they surfaced and evolved through the process.

The Energy of it All


 The Energy of it All

As the effects of
 bygone impositions
dissolve
bit by bit by bit,
I’m realizing that it’s
the energy of it all
that is shifting now,
has been along the way.
It was a fearsome, frothy mix
that bubbled and oozed,
 spread toxicity
in a stealthy, fluctuating fashion
 around sweet, tender me.
It’s in my power now
 to let the toxicity
stream away.
Whether it cascades, gushes,
seeps, or dribbles
 matters not
because it’s just not mine,
never was.
As it goes
I have the opportunity
 to more deeply experience
 that which is mine.
I can pause,
raise my eyes
to the expansive sky,
feel the warmth
 of the morning sun
around and through my body
as I bask in the
big, bold, brilliant
energy of me.
