A Message to This Body
I can see you, cycling through the pain.
It's overlapping now, you know yourself, including before the tears fall as rain.
The tension, your tight back and strained Warning Signals are flaring...
Clenching your jaw while standing in the mirror, staring.
Participating in helping and raising others, requires constant transformation of yourself.
This body, it feels it... Stiff like a doll on a shelf.
The experiences, they took a toll and the mind is so powerful.
The Mind helped you push through and now your bodies whispers are screams, your soul empty but so full.
Rest, my dear body... Your timelines have overlap.
See clearly, dear Mind... Come home and free yourself from the trap.
Of fighting or running, the endless quest for answers...
Listen to what you know, slow down and you'll travel faster.
