Just let go...

Just let go.
Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

strange feeling...

I have this strange feeling that I’m not myself anymore.

It’s hard to put into words, but I guess it’s like I was fast asleep, and someone came,

disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again.

That sort of feeling.

out of air...

I'm  all out of air,

all my breath you have stolen,

but the words remain.

unfolded...

I want to unfold.

I don’t want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am untrue.

awakened….

It's through you my love,

I’m capable of all things,

you awakened me.

my thrill….

 ... if I had known free spirits are burning deities

I’d have stayed away from you

If I could…

Built a moat around my heart

Cloaked my soul and shut my eyes from your radiance

I am burning.

A beautiful fire has set me alight

You came into my life a far away wind blowing on foreign land

Carrying the smell of sweetened love with you

If I had known you would fan my spirit I’d have sought counsel from the four winds

and travelled earlier to find you

Look how I blush the colour of your soul

The colour of my heart before you came dancing to the sound of my name..

it is….

It is music and dancing that makes me at peace with the world.

One moment...

I have had one moment of enormous peace.

This perhaps is happiness.

Now I am drawn back by pricking sensations; by curiosity, greed and the irresistible desire to be myself.

— Virginia Woolf, from The Waves

"Wishes on a wheel". Caitlin Morrin by Parisa Walklett for DressLab

Your becoming is inevitable….

Your becoming is inevitable 

Create to calm the boil

This will thaw out the numb spirit

Before floods of laughter 

And a hundred posies full of kisses

There will be nights turning into loneliness

You will go from soft to brittle then soft again 

You’ll learn grief is a horrible thing

that cooks anger and serves sadness

But you will rebuild yourself into something better

And you will find a new way to breath

Then you will fly and fly away

— your becoming is inevitable  - Tapiwa Mugabe
