The vortex
That hole in the middle of my chest
Is it fire, is it water
Whirling fluid or air
A whirlpool, a whirlwind
It feels like a waterfall
Like broken glass
Shattered and falling into me
My heart is too extended
Filled with thoughts of all my children
My grandchildren
My father, my mother,
My brothers, their families
And the pain is just love
Loving too much, Feeling too much
Ah, but this helps me to know I am alive
I am here, walking through this moment
Right NOW
………………………………………………………………………….
I look out at the vast horizon
I am given eyes to see deep inside my heart
I’m laughing, then crying
Oh to have lived such a vast life
So many experiences, so different
A recipe from generations before me
In my blood and the marrow of my bones
All the lessons along the way I have absorbed
The ones my offspring are creating now
They are swirling in my heart and mind
Like the sea and the sky
Vast are my thoughts
……………………………………………………………………………………..
I look to the future
As I ride up in my breathe
Breathing deeply
Careful to be thankful not just for the great
But the horrible
Nothing really matters
Only right now matters
In this moment I can imagine
I can create from my intuition
The next moment will come
I want to string them together
I want to build my next step
And look forward to the one after that
………………………………………………
I close my eyes and I can see
A new river is flowing
I accept the things I cannot change
I turn away from where I once stood and stared
Instead I look forward and see
A rapidly forming landscape
I can feel the wonder, the magic
It awaits me as I forge forward
My strength will come
From the river that flows to and thru
My solar plexus
That complex system of radiating nerves
Racing through my mind and body
In the pit of my stomach
I have a knowing
Call it faith
My heart is my own
Left it open too long
Things flew in there
They’ve been hard to get rid of
The vortex is flushing itself clean
It’s that magical river
Turning its favor on me
Grow girl G R O W
Sooth that sympathetic nervous system
Time to do right by yourself
Oh the things yet to be done
The future is calling to me
And I answer
Here I come
