it all begins here

where to begin...

it all begins here

here in this space

a space called heart

outside the heart is where things get murky

blurry and bleeding is what it becomes

until the moment when you wake up and remember

when your bones recognize the beat and thunder

your soul responds in song

then in that moment

you know you are home

 

I came here today to begin. To work a bit more on this new space that's been bubbling up over the last few months. I'm not feeling ready to publish, but not because it's not ready, there is much more to do here...the feeling comes up because it's not done, not perfect. At once I recognize that thinking, the poem flowed out, and I understood that I had to do what my heart knew to do, and just begin. Right where I am.
