FEELINGS

 

 

It is okay:

 

To be sad

 

To be old and have wrinkles

 

To sit in the kitchen window 

and watch the birds

with dishes in the sink.

 

To rock on the porch

to comfort the pain

 

To soothe the itch with cream

 

To be late to the party

 

To not remember 

And to not forget

 

To write off the line

 

To forget your passwords

 

To share your words or not

until you are ready or never

 

To get up early

or stay up real late

 

Say whatever you want on the page

 

To see messages in the clouds,

promises in the pink moon,

burning bushes everywhere

 

To be homesick at home

 

Be soft and malleable

allow new seeds to be planted

in old soil

 

Delete expectations

stay in the flow

 

To have had a good

life with enough

and not feel guilty

 

To get knocked down

 and stay there

rest awhile

 

It is okay 

to need help 

and not ask for it

trust your inner wisdom

 

 

Follow your feelings

Be Different!
