She looked around her: a poem
This poem came to me after a revelation I had about my own work, whilst on holiday with my beloved. It’s one of my personal favourites as it’s that moment of clarity we so often strive for!she looked around her
she listened to all the noise
she breathed
in. out. in. out.
she smiled
she gently shook her head
the noise was ephemeral
she let it go
and started to listen to the song of her soul
she took another breath
and walked into the loving smile of the sun
saying:
“your noise is only sound
I choose my music, my song,
the fizzy happiness of my soul.
I choose that today.”
