just what it is

you've arrived at another shore

that was a long swim

i like all of who i am

it was really painful

physically and emotionally

getting there

i thank the universe

for smacking me down

and at the same time

giving me the insight

that there was another journey

that i had to go on

that i had to just be still

i had the sense

that this was for my good

and it's been good for me

that i've had the courage,

resilience, resourcefulness,

good friends and love

to support me

let's have you dance

can i be lifted?

come from the heart more
