A Poem

It's Hard to Remember:

I find it hard to remember
That I've learned something different
That thoughts whisper like voices
But I don't have to listen.
That doubts cast their shadow
But I can see light
That I can just let it be --
I don't have to fight.

It's hard to remmeber because
It feels like forgetting
When I accept what is given
I feel like I'm letting
Life pass me by
While I just observe
Like I'm settling for less than
What I deserve.

It's hard to remember
Yet time after time
I turn towards acceptance
With my heart and my mind.
I'm open
I offer my heart with great fear
Every moment uncertain --
I'm present, I'm here.
