For You

A poem

I am a work of heart.
A sensitive paradox of love and rage.
At the centre of me you’ll find fire and water;
the capacity to heal and to devastate.
I am a work in practice.
Trying to notice what is taking place.
Inside the body, mind and soul,
the intricacies of life, love and loss are taking shape.
When this mad modern world gets too fast and too loud,
I step back from the screens to gaze at the moon
and imagine the ocean waving as time rolls by
to reset my natural rhythm and re-wild me somehow.
