POEM STARTER
Awakening
Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.
Spinning
The world is spinning and I am standing still
It keeps going without my concern
If I act, if I leap, if I trust what will be there?
Spinning and spinning I try to see where my leap will land
I stay and I wait for just the right moment.
I see it and stumble and fail to leave the ground
But I get back up and I see.
See the world was waiting for me
I have to learn to get back up to be strong
Strengthen my heart
Strengthen my soul
As I leap as I jump as I learn the rhythm of the universe
It speaks to me softly
Sometimes leaving me to wonder
Sometimes telling me to keep going
Sometimes telling me to be patient
To wait
To let it align the movements of the world to the future it is creating for me if I just let it
Just wait and prepare to jump and land in a world you can only imagine.
Just be patient and calm and love yourself.
Find joy in the birds in the trees in the light in your eyes.
You cannot stop the pain.
But you can hold onto the love.
