“Buried Alive”

March 7, 2020

Where is she? Have you seen her?
I know she’s there

I see her face all over Facebook
Laughing
Smiling
Brightening the day
But I can’t find her

Have you seen her?

I don’t think she’s lost
Just buried
Buried beneath the pain and worry
Buried beneath the fear of not knowing
Buried beneath the sadness
Smothered beneath the breakdowns

Maybe she needs to break down
Before building back up
Maybe every tear that falls
Unearths another part of her

I’m hoping this hasn’t changed her
I’m hoping she’ll bounce right back
Because I miss her
She’s the me in me
That’s missing

“Out of Whack”

the thought of change
is much more exciting
than the reality of it

the clouds still form
the trees still blow in the wind
yet
everything looks different
and I’m beginning to realize why

the perfect alignment
body-soul-spirit
how I feel?
body-spirit-soul

maybe the first step
of realization
is seeing

now to take the next step
