the home inside of you

Everything may not be ok

Through a particular lens,

No.

It all might be hard and cringy -

But, then -

It won’t be like that,

And exhales are easier then.

The question isn’t

Will it be ok -

The question is -

Will YOU be ok

In the home

You have built

Inside of you,

When it isn’t.

Can you feel

Your own warmth

In the darkness?

You are never really

Alone.

And there is nothing

Other than right now -

Is anything wrong

Right now?

Exhale.

Mental hygiene

Cleaning the stuff

In our heads

Like clearing

The goop off

Our teeth.

Imagination used

To create worry

Gets stuck,

So does fear.

Daily practice clearing

Creates balance -

Removes sticky stuff

That disrupts balance.

And, remember -

We are

Hurtling through space

Around a ball of fire.

Breathe.
