Goddess

the art of being right here

feels like an in-between

in between worlds, realities, happenings

the stillness almost discomforting

it surrounds me

the quiet, the nothingness

is this what peace feels like?

finally there is no one to torment me

to take me from this place

to tell me who i am not

i almost took this for granted

the feeling of freedom

almost rushed into the next season

without taking the time to pause,

to look around,

to smile & be grateful for exactly where i am

i will miss it some day

not in a regretful way,

but in a “i’m in a new stage of life” way

before i can even blink, my life will change completely

for the better, of course

i just don’t want to look back & feel i that i took this time for granted

let me be still & know

know that i am Goddess

know that i am completely & utterly safe

fully & without remorse loved

known & seen, heard & felt

if by no one else, absolutely by me

i take it all in, carefully, lovingly, happily

we are so quick to move on

why not stay a while, linger in this for now?

what is the rush, anyway?

it is all fear

don’t live that way

move from & because of love

slow down & breathe, deeply & sweetly

dance, sing your heart out like no one is watching

because there will be a time where they are

a time is coming, an ushering, a change

can u see it? 

it is oh so near

i will never been in this place ever again

so i take it all in with love & gratitude

i am living in my future self’s memories

it almost felt like a punishment, being here for so long

but now i know it is a precious & dear gift

i will never again take it for granted
