Sometimes, I feel full. Not stomach full, But head full. And with a head full, My mind feels Confused, Conflicted, Complicated Something in me needing clarity. Over the years, I discovered, That Writing poetry, Helps me! The structure, The rhythm, The pace The process Of words pouring out of me, Gets things out of my head, Including getting ME, out of my head! The energy flowing Through my hands and fingers, Whether I'm typing, or writing, Moving Expressing Makes space Inside of me. To observe, More clearly, What wants to be seen. What wants to be read. To open me up, A little bit more. As the words, Fall out of me. They bring a smile to my face, Because their wisdom, Was even unknown to me. Until they were seen, By my own eyes. Felt my own hands. This magical, Mystical experience, That I wish everyone could experience. (At the end of free writing a poem) I find myself, Relieved, Happier, Healthier, In some way, For taking a moment, To slow down, To breathe, To visit my inner world, Giving attention And a little more trust To myself. And EVERY time I do... I receive. I receive!
