The Skin I'm In

White, with faded freckles
From the sun and at times pale.
Sometimes thick, often frail.

But you cover me,
And protect me from harm.
Receiving scars along the way.

You surround this being
But in the end, you're just skin.
Which I wear with pride.
Only because you're mine..
At least for a very short time.

Resistance

I walked, the road was only mine

It comes from the void that fills and consumes

Face like stone

Hard to read

I find myself taking pride

In my totem pole

That is true strength

True power

Is knocking down this tower

Being bare

Just a sk...

We Feel

Some time ago
My skin turned wooden
My feet moulded into one
Foot
I slipped
And smudged the painted grid
On the marble floor
Another time I fell
And did not stop
I rolled right off the board
It was not a conscious decision
To spectate rather than participate
But it happened
As it does to many
Who give up on giving
When you undertake solely seeing
You relinquish being
But not feeli...

Poem 64 of "Because of This"

64

Stop, look inward.

Be aware by becoming still.

Notice your thoughts.

They are seeds.

Plant with care.

 

This may be difficult

because we want

progress quickly,

but even the longest journey

starts with

a single movement.

A tower rises from

a single brick.

 

Just be. 

Don't worry about failure or success.

Breathe.

Step by step,
