Freedom

Feeling down low,

things not going my way

Covid for Thanksgiving

kept my kids away

Really? Again?

The universe said “yes”

You are not in charge,

might as well not stress

Mood took the elevator

down to the basement

In the dark, life looked small,

no room for creation

Repetitive  thoughts

ran amok in my mind

Not much space for light

or connecting with divine

Bombarded by negativity

from voices within

Pelted by hail,

life was looking grim

Until…

I heard this:

THOSE THOUGHTS ARE ALL LIES

You don’t need to listen

You can just let them fly

Nothing to fix,

Manipulate or do

They will keep jabbering

without having a clue

I saw at a deep level

I didn’t need to listen

They were not me,

just a mind that was hissin

I took a long breath

And heard WOW as I sighed

Thoughts can do their thing

I don’t need to try

Nothing to heal

or fix or be,

Something big to know,

there’s light here for me

A sense of freedom rushed in

with a giant whoosh

Something was shifting

as my stress turned to mush

A soft feeling seeped through,

gratitude peace & freedom

My mind became quiet

without any reason

The elevator emerged

up into the light

No longer in the basement,

thanks to a freedom insight
