Just Being 11/9/2022

Anger and stress
Gushed open
Like a geyser
Of steam
Do I pause intentionally
Or react aggressively?

Living with someone
Who’s opposite in polarity
Produces conflicts
And adjustments
Regularly.

Unfortunately
Get caught up
In the moment
And often regret
My reactions
Afterwards.

Intentional energy
And mindful effort
Tis needed
To turn the other cheek
And pause to reflect
Inwardly.

Breathing and
Focusing
Quietly listening
To the inhale
And exhales
Till grounded
And aligned
With my soulful self.

As waves of wisdom
And knowledge
Appear within
The stillness.

Knowing now
I am part of
Something grander
And surrender
To just being
In the flow
Of love.
