Being Present

I'm aware of the talk, internal chatter with volume levels high I'm concious of the questions asked with only my reply Feeling hasn't connected yet, just words and data fighting for attention When the infernal noise subsides I see me in my reflection Sat feet grounded, hands loose by my side, open, vunerable, nothing left to hide I'm in a room with others sharing space and air, my senses alert confirming i'm there No performance necessary, the stage has been removed, stripped back to basics, lost egoic attitude Is this what it's like being present not wrapped up in me, for all this time I had the tools but only now I see..
