Searching For Solutions In The Midst of My Exhaustion

Now the days are flying by

the Ides have come and gone.

Tidal waves are crashing on

the beaches of our hearts.

A change in perspective:

brought a realization

as we suddenly awakened

to the starkness of the truth.

.

We are standing our ground

by anchoring in density

so we can find stability.

By widening our stance

there’s a way to stay upright.

Now we play the longer game.

.

It’s a re-imagination

of the need for a transition.

A remaking of our lives.

New patterns are emerging

in our social distanced lives.

As we rally for the changes

there’s a need for new creation

and some thoughtful reflections

on the pieces of our world.

.

There’s the tension of the ‘needing’

and a sense of ‘fully giving’

that brings me to the depths

of a deepening exhaustion.

We’ve been searching for relief

in the middle of a slowdown,

while the rising of anxiety

brings a fire to our belly

that burns inside our bones.

.

Within the isolation

we are weaving ways to gather

in collective intersections

finding balance in the gathering,

and the need to bring the fight.

We are caught in reimagining

all the ways to be a human

with a greater recognition

of a past preoccupation with

a focus on our selves.

.

And it brings a recognition

of our need to work together

toward an evolution

within collaboration.

where we search for revolution.

We are fighting for our lives.
