When too much - Saturday poem

'When too much

When too much

holds you in a clutch,

you just try to find the way

through the sway,

of overwhelming matters

they might feel like all shatters

and still inside,

is this light,

shining and burning alive

reminding you to survive,

staying close to the core

even you feel so offshore,

something inside

is a guide

and all you can do,

is anew,

your trust into living,

that life is giving,

you, what you need to learn,

letting go of concern,

learning how to stay in your strength,

even the storms from outside enchance,

life is pushing you to train,

knowing nothing is in vain,

that even in the thickest rain

a rainbow can show up,

on your pilgrimaging path

when you least expected 

like life perfected,

moments aligning,

preventing you of whinning

in a loud mourn,

instead remind you on being steadfast

and knowing that those tough moments won't last

forever

and life just avers,

that it is carrying you,

to see your own truth

and follow your path in clarity and light,

making you smile bright,

because you learned new,

you made it through,

stronger then ever

and thought of this never,

to be possible

even it was close to stumple,

feeling like parts of you crumble,

but in the end,

it was just time spend,

in a tougher phase,

you went somehow through with grace,

 in your own pace

and allow yourself after, all the space,

you need,

to be able to greet,

all new coming,

without running

away with fear,

which is likely to appear

in those foggy moments

losing clear fragments

and wait for the sun to burn through the cloud,

making you shout oud loud,

in a brief

relief

and keep walking

your path,

without wrath,

just content,

to learn what was meant,

to expierence and live

able to choose, if it is making you a captive

or you need to forgive,

for your mind at peace

and settle back into ease.

So, when you face too much

and feel like in a clutch,

just let life guide you,

to see again the clear wide blue,

to expand again with your soul,

easing back into the whole,

of being

life is with you totally agreeing.'
