Everything is yours
It is possible you have collided with something more unyielding than yourself
which has the power to chisel a crack in your outer layer
revealing within, a soft soufflé
and that in this state where you are most affected by everything
you walk the softest
so as not to make a sound, or disturb the delicate soil
so as not to disrupt the perfection and balance you suddenly observe
You are stunned into reverence
and in your reverence you’ll find either that
you trust this moment to linger for as long as it needs
to do it’s work upon your being
or that terror grips you
Terror of losing it
and being thrust back into the numbness and familiarity you disdain
But remember, everything is yours
and there is no cause for running toward or away from any of it
It is always on its way to you
ready to reveal itself in forms more pleasing
and more poignantly disappointing
than you ever could have designed
if it had been up to you
