Love, Trust, Peace, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Divine, Together

A Poem

Photo by Allie Smith on Unsplash

And the words are

love trust peace forgiveness gratitude divine together

and the words stop us in our tracks as we go

about our panic spirals as we go about our anxiety over

as we go about our day filled with expectations and longings

as we brush up against hope briefly and realize hope is a word that keeps us in wishing

and we realize that we need something firm and now we need something that invests more in us than waiting

we need something to focus in and to spread out to strike down the things that keep us locked

in the past or worried about the future

the words are love, trust, peace, forgiveness, gratitude, divine, together the mantra is in no particular order, the chanting can be silent

the thing is the stopping the breathing

the coming back to self and source to re-center, to ground, to call off

the wars inside and out to clean out the mind like the hoarders closet it is

and just get rid of the things that do not make us into the people we want to be that do not aid us in our journey to

the life that is ours that do not make us feel free and joyful the words like rescuers like helpers like support

bag up the unnecessary and clear the space.
