I’ve been underground, Buried under the weight Of what felt like too much, Letting time tick by Like the sound of a Metronome, Keeping rhythm With past and Present, Past and present- Until the future Crept quietly Past me without a word, Making tomorrow My yesterday.
Here I stayed for too long, Until the moment When I pushed through the earth, Feeling the heavy weight lift, My motion to reach The surface Forged with everything In me.
Until I broke ground, Feeling the warmth Of the sun shining Down on tired Bones.
There is life beyond Stillness, Beyond waiting For the right moment. There is breath Reaching down Into the deepest Part of me.
