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
