If I accompany you
will we go to where love opens us
like flowers in the sun
where veils lift and we can see
the beauty of living, of breathing
of listening always to our hearts
Will we move as one towards who we are
without tripping over yesterdays
or the fears or feelings we were taught
that complicate the simple wonder of being here?
Can we ignore the voices
telling us we are not as good as
or that deserving is something you earn
Can we forever drop the belief
that keeping busy is the answer and rather
in the manner of all small beautiful things
just be
I hear your ‘yes’ so I will accompany you
just one thing more . . .
can we dance instead of walk?

As-salaam Alaikum,
Very sweet
Such a lovely poem…and the ending was just a joy!
Beautiful! What better way to start my week, shukria!
It is also raining here on the West Coast. And let’s dance!
Beautiful.
Let’s drop belief, and dance in eternity :)
Poignant words. Dancing seems far more appealing that walking … now where are my dancing shoes? :)
Thank you all, I try to serve but am served instead! -Paddy Noble

Will we move as one towards who we are
without tripping over yesterdays
