Tail Chasing
Are you running from something?
Chasing your tail no end?
Is it even your own tail you’re chasing,
Or some phantom that has attached to you?
Has its presence become so comfortable?
Has comfort become easier in your life than
Looking at your other possibilities, potentials?
Misplaced loyalty? To what, to whom?
STOP
Look, is there a leash there?
Perhaps you can see what you may have allowed in?
Yes, there be dragons. They are not yours.
Leash the dragons that no longer serve.
Unleash yourself;
Remove the collar…breath in Self.
Were the collar, the leash, yours? ‘Render unto Caesar….’
Free yourself from the burdens of others.
