What lives in between
all the u n f i n i s h e d sentences?
What remains alive in
all the u n s e n t messages?
What feels so real
in the moments we d o u b t?
What is so p r e t e n d
in being driven by an inner route?
There’s s p a c e
in every chase
Nothing is ever done
just in a phase of being s p u n
There’s a specific s u r g e
in showing up beyond an urge
There’s a true l o v e
flying inside, not above
Making my own definition of romance
the rush of being your own c h a n c e
Falling in love with the p r o c e s s
of trusting myself, not the stress
They say “when you know, you know”
but they forgot “when you g r o w, you glow”
Everyone’s busy looking for the o n e
but that person is within if you don’t run

Trusting ourselves is hard. I’ve always been an overthinker, I just recently read, that can be caused by a parent who was too critical. Sounds legit. To feel safe inside and to just trust your own voice is a gift. We have to be the heroes in our own stories! I love the spaced words and the invitation to slow down! 💗👍

Well my wise poetic friend..you have done it again..Through poetic flow and questioning you tickle our realities, call to us to really see how we perceive what is invisible to the eye and many times outside our realm of thought. I love how you push boundaries, mental gymnastics to see reality through new fresh eyes.
These lines are so good:
They say “when you know, you know”
but they forgot “when you g r o w, you glow”
Ahh that glow comes from growing and growing comes from living “lucidly”
“Everyone’s busy looking for the o n e
but that person is within if you don’t run” For sure discover this one first:):) Hugs Grace..another wonderful poem to make us think.
