Space

I needed space

To hear myself

The achings of my heart

The knowings of my mind

I was too busy

And it was too noisy

And I swirled

And twirled

In my dress of confusion

Thinking I was dancing

When I was only

Going in circles

And now I have had space

Coupled

With the time to navigate it

Space to listen

And write

Then right

What I hear

I admit

The space

Almost took me

I floundered

A whale out of water

(Surely

I am too big to be a fish)

But I followed

A ray of sunlight

Breaking through

My choking mind

(You)

And now

I can see a way

Out of the darkness

Of my inner space

Thank you.
