If You 10/26/2021

Decisions and choices
Taking time to plan
Life is going smoothly
Until tragedy knocks
At the front door
Throwing you
Into a tail spin
Down.

Unsure and indecisive
Not thinking clearly
Anymore
For I am lost
Within
My emotional storm.

Having difficulties
Understanding grief
Can’t control
Anything
What do I do?

If you want peace
Find peace within
By focusing on the breath
Long and deep
Moving in and out
Of your core.

If you want joy
Find space
In your heart.

Soften your grief
By accepting what is
And allow happiness
To slowly enter
Through the crack
Of hope
You made
In your life.

If you want love
Believe the soul
Continues on
Tis just a different form
Within the Greater Reality
Of life.

Accept grief
Is really love
With nowhere to go
So release
Old beliefs
And the pain
Allowing love
To enter your heart
Once again.
