🪐 retrograde 💭

...

By Bri CampbellPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Can a friend call me, invite me to a party?

Ring my line to check in... my head's in the clouds again,

My fear is making sounds again... I need to touch the ground again,

remember I am not my thoughts,

I'm not a shell of rot or someone God forgot to favor

or provide for,

I've grown past that belief.

This year is a new slate, but today is an old wave,

exposing that I'm afraid of all that is to come,

Unseen and Unheard, particularly the worst,

Irrational fears taking the wheel again, I can't bear

to pretend, they're not driving me off course...

I need to redirect, remember who I am,

remember not to let day dreaming drift me off again...

So can a friend stop by, to meditate outside?

Take me out of this place and start a brand new life.
