I wrote this poem this time last year. So much has changed, as always, life will never be the same, it never is. I hope you enjoy the sentiments and find your own dance and rhythm, whatever the year end brings.
At Year’s End
At year's end
My heart is peaceful
Just a beat away from misery and pain
I am at rest
Sensations, feelings, thoughts,
All have been whirling like dervishes
and yet somehow I remain upright
There is no gap
No difference
No space between peace and pain
All is one
Multi-faceted, entwined and entangled
This is life
Humanity
In all its glorious complexity and contradiction
I sit, and touch the earth
In the pause between heartbeats
All is sent to ground
Connected, I am held.
In perfect balance
I whirl and dance
