emerging

emerging
through much undergrowth to allow that
what I have to let go of
is what I want to have
and then I will have all that I want
and be entertained by it too
-o-
but the conceit – actually the fear –
creeps in like twilight
and stays for days and weeks because
it is hardly noticed and
slightly darkens everything
-o-
I need to find ways and tricks
to touch back with Real
No. I don’t. That is another
creeping failure that will haunt me for months
I need to live in the experience of sitting
when I sit so that I can do anything
as I anything
I do not need another project
to spend my days being anxious over
I need the balmy gentleness
of being the lesson
I am always looking for to
vindicate and inspire me
the same with writing. Look at this.
Flowing. Because I have sat in myself
pen poised when I am writing
not wanting the next chapter
of the over-reaching project that
I have set myself
just write being
myself just sit
being myself
just be myself
with wide-open
acceptance
and ignorance
Exactly, my friend.
I need to take heed to this advice you write about.
… so do I!
Wonderful!
thank you
Nice piece! I loved this very much
