Take the leap - November poem

 Take the leap

Listening deeply to create new.

Letting old pattern

shatter.

Being aware I care

but life is often not fair

where shallow desire is something that mainstream admire

where does that leave my inside fire?

Nice to get and feel the warmth, 

but after that it is not interested in the charm

which does not want to do harm

but it is misunderstood deeply

and for most people getting creepy.

Listening deeply

finding the truth 

knowing it puts a lot on the edge to loose.

And instead of bowing away

it is a stay

being on this edge

playing fetch

with life's magic

leaving behind tragic.

Take the leap 

meet

life deep

living from this inner place does not come cheap

instead with a grace

that steps out of the race

and invites to create

with the shadow and inner great

opening your chest

put your armor to rest

and living your heart-filled-soul-guided best

to manifest out of pure human essence

that does not lessen

 the pain and leaves in vain

but welcomes all

to enthrall

in life's beautiful enriching ways

opening up big enough space

to be and truly see

you and me.
