A September Love Poem, from my heart to yours...

UNBOUND UNBOUND UNBOUND UNBOUND UNBOUND UNBOUND

By Nancy Levin, author of Writing For My Life


We may never know
How we hold
All we can
Or how the light catches us when we are out of breath.

It’s a sign of healing to be feeling again.

The real breakthrough
Can only arise from heartbreak.

That which ails
Cures
Reminding us
That it’s always about beginning
And then beginning again.

As the waves crash me
I trust the sand
To polish me edges smooth
Dissolving denial
Revealing real while
Courage and confidence
Ignite my core.

Contraction and expansion
Let the light stream in,
And the stillness.
After so much thrashing about
Allow the body to wring
The sorrow out.

As freedom floods shadows may persist.

Know your undertow
As you alchemize the dark
And remember
That you always have
The strength to choose
How to engage.

The clouds unveil the view
When you are ready to climb.
Now its time to notice
The miraculous moments In your life
As they are happening.


This
Is the making
Of me
And we will walk
Courageously
Into daybreak
From the night
Shining our light
Together
