The Belly of The Whale (poem)
The Belly Of The Whale
It’s ok to sit
Or lay
In the belly of the whale
To quiet noise
To quell haste
From your tip to tale
If you’re a doer
Getting things done
It’s ok to take a break
Cause life just shifted
A whole tonne
Riding in the wake
Noise and fear
Are held so close
Palpable at all times
The heightened sounds
Scarce energy
The only thing that chimes
So if you need
Shove at the waves
And pivot just a bit
Sit inside
The Silence love
Listen deep within
There is a voice
You can hardly hear
Quiet is it’s song
You have to press
Your heart to feel
It’s singing gentle tone
It has an answer
That zips in fast
Love.... so just and true
And if you listen
Well enough
It brings it’s gift to you
It might tell you
“Slow right down...
Breathe a little bit”
It might say
“Darling please create...
Show off your daring grit”
It might shout
“Start a new....
Winding little path”
It might whisper
“I’m...right here
In the aftermath”
And if you can’t
quite sense it yet
There’s really nothing wrong
It’s there no matter
what you fear
It’s with you all along
It’s there sitting
Patiently
For the noise to clear
And once it does
You’ll be amazed
The messages you hear
Because that voice
Is You my love
You and You alone
Between all parts
Head Heart Blood
A whisper from your bones
That seems to say
It’s ok to be afraid
It’s a normal feel to feel
Like cocoon
Makes butterfly
It’s all part of the deal
••••••••••••••••••••••
You are loved
You are whole
You are brilliant
And incredible
You are sweetness
You are trust
You are made of
The
Most

Beautiful stuff
You......ya you!!!!
Just want to make sure you don’t forget that today.
