Let the light in.
You've concealed enough over time.
Memories and regrets
Anger and threats
that lurk inside the chambers
have played their part:
let them out.
Unfurl
dear heart;
one petal at a time
He shouts.
She whines.
They splinter and join.
You shed tears
of despair,
or
is it joy?
Round and round
the cycle goes.
Let it flow.
This is life
you know
like the blood
that throbs
and makes you, you.
Unfurl
and
unfold
dear heart.
Let your flower shine.
Step out of your cocoon:
the one you wove
to protect you.
It's your prison, you know.
Listen to me
dear heart.
I dance to your beat
And when you
unfurl
I will too.
I invite you to unfurl with these beauties today...
'Open your heart to the Universe', says my yoga teacher.
Maybe, I'm beginning to see what she means.

Arti, you have quite a gift for poetry!
ReplyDeleteWhat camera are you using for your photos? They always look so professional.
Thank you Shelly:) Reading your sweet words is a good start to my day.
DeleteIt's gonna be different in May.
Wonder if we'll miss this daily dose of blogging!
I use my daughter's camera (she bought it and I took it!) It's a Canon G12. I love it coz it's easy to carry around. I still haven't figured out how to take night shots with it, though.
Yes, that sounds like a good plan.
