Bountiful 7/28/2023

Hello there
Can anyone hear me?
Calling out
With my pain
Screaming silently
But no one’s listening.

Feeling alone
And lifeless
At my wits end
Desperately
Need a
Recharge
To connect
Internally.

Looking outside
Of myself
Looking to others
Often
Never finding
Within
What is needed
To make me feel
Whole and loved.

Tis easy
To fall backwards
And become out of sync
But then suddenly
The light catches my eye
As sunrays
Dart about
Like cat’s paws
Playing with a fly.

Focusing on breathing
Creating space within
Finding stillness
In this moment
Tis where love
Is bountiful
And eager to share
With myself
Mindfully.
