poetry, word doodles and other writing stuff
As it began
so it ends
Geh mit Gott
Aber Geh
Is an act of self-care
An act of connecting
An act of healing
An act of civic duty
An act of kindness
An act of giving voice
Voice to the voiceless
the unseen
the unheard
Sometimes just
the unseen parts of us
the unheard sorrows
the unwitnessed joys that pepper loneliness and make it more acute
An act of writing
Is an act of being
An act of forgiving
An act of punishing
An act of self-truth
I am never that far away from my writing
An act of writing
Is holding up the mirror
to our selves–if we want or not
we are blindsided into looking at our reflection
The mirror is sneaky like that
An act of writing is weaving threads
We are all one
In the end
You cannot cross the same river twice
You cannot go back to change regrets
You cannot predict where tomorrow carries you
You cannot know then what you know now
You cannot sing an unwritten song
You cannot feel when you are numb
You cannot hear over the noise in your mind
You cannot see what’s right in front of you
You cannot fix what’s meant to break
You cannot heal without looking in the mirror
You cannot run from yourself
You cannot flee your past either
You cannot do what you can’t
But can you do what you can?
Can you be you?
