#19: Flash in a Lull

Having today be a lull

Lovely lil lull is a gift

To me for all of me lately

Can’t it be obvious

How lost it can be

It being me on occasion

We see it far from

10,000 ft they say

I’m here now to say with a rush

A flash of memories they tell

In books and movies 

I had

I had it fast like a flash

Like they say, its crazy

Me and all I’ve been

Memories I forgot I’ve had

It was nice to see

All of me

It’s not every day that 

What we get

But it’s like I’ve met

Myself again

It feels good and scary

Uncanny

Is it acceptance 

Of me

Is it love

To me

Somehow my heart is open

God that’s scary

Hopefully time will keep it open

Or I’ll know when to close it

Today being a lull is lovely

Its letting me love me 

More today 

A pause you could say

Put me out of everyday 

Misery? Is not the word

Mute-any

Where my heart is silent 

It feels odd to me 

To feel this free

Grateful I am to know

This feeling

Is fleeting
