“unwinding”
you, dear one,
meet yourself in these words
always, you see a mirror
as you look into the world
reflecting back to you
your current state
of judgement
or lack thereof
every book you ever read
every music you ever danced to
every lover you held in your arms
you saw yourself
in the constantly changing balance
of resisting and opening to life’s tides
how i wish, for you and me
patience and gentleness on our journey
