Poem by Holly Ann Kasper
3/30/20
The world has elements one cannot escape;
diversions hypnotizing us with every dance.
Let’s stop chasing the waves;
attempting to trap the wind;
free our hands and hearts
so the work to be done can begin.
It is only inside,
this power to change;
it emerges
as attention is rearranged.
Thy will can never be affected,
though the rest may be neglected.
Our lives,
they wave;
they ebb and flow.
Experiences painted;
our wisdom grows.
Deep
inside
our power reigns;
beyond the story;
past words and stains.
We feel
the seed grow,
this human right;
a symptom of freedom
expanding our sight.
Despite
the mountains and boulders we face,
along the road,
we endure the race.
For a
time
we all forget it’s there;
lost in the dream,
life may seem unfair…
But each
and every one of us
are blessed by moments
WHERE
our view of life
is tweaked and bent,
and,
for a moment
we see it…
We glimpse a new angle…
one that reminds us of
what we forgot we once knew.
Sometimes we are frozen;
stuck in this moment;
where we refuse to keep running;
where we face what we see.
It’s
here in this moment
where choice becomes clear;
where our lives slow down;
where we see and we hear.
where we finally find
where our freedom resides.
Where our power and peace
and our truth is…
… inside…
