Safe To Be Seen

There are many ways we show up for one another. This is my favorite. 10 min.

My Friend

My Friend

I don’t know what to say
I don’t have an answer,
It seems.

My pain is different
My experience isn’t yours,
It seems.

All I know is I’m sorry
All I can say is I’m here,
And I care.

Know you can be real
Know it’s safe here,
With me.

If I could take it from you
If I could carry it for you,
I would.

Perhaps that’s all we need
Perhaps some moments,
Just need sharing.

Breathe with me
Breathe in, I’m here.
You are not alone.

Safe Place

There is a safe place
We all share.

The effortless breath
And beating of heart.

The quiet awareness
Beneath our thoughts.

Until we find that place
The shouting will go on.
