When I think those sad
Lonely
Left out
Questioning
Unworthy
thoughts

And I am about to be caught in a dangerous, powerful
Undertow

Swept under and out
Untethered into open water

When I find a way
To free these buzzing thoughts
From the sticky web of my mind

Before they become tangled up
And trapped in silvery shackles

When I become brave enough to release them from their nest

So they can test their wings
And transform themselves
Becoming magestic creatures
soaring high into the clouds

When I finally surrender and trust
And my thoughts can fly away

There is space again
In my mind
In my heart

For cleansing white light and
Miraculous color
To come streaming in

Something changes

I feel connected

I feel loved

And life
Becomes again the rolling waves
Gentle, even in the storm

Under the round, shining moon

Where I can stand balanced
And steady
And Feel the changing tides

Without losing myself
To the depths
In the undertow
