I hold a yellow petal

fight, fight,
fight, as the feelings
keep coming up,
a tirade that just wonโ€™t stopโ€ฆ

bleeding
from within,
associated
with a long ago, lost grinโ€ฆ

sans

the yellow petals
falling from the sky,
one at a time

making me
second guess, the minds
association
with the feelings
bubbling up, I stop

breathe in the aroma,
natures pandora, scent
from above, below my feet,
feeling beneath,
taking it all in

I almost feel freeโ€ฆ

close the eyes,
concentrate
on the arising tide,
detach from them,
one at a time

I remind

myself
of the love
all around,
as I bound, up, and over
all the feelings,
plaguing my dreamingโ€ฆ

lightness of being
is now
what Iโ€™m feeling, as

the mind clears
itself of these fantasies,
and I hold
a yellow petal close to me,
and give thanks

for now, Iโ€™m truly seeingโ€ฆ
