Lost in thought

In the tidal waters

Surrender your thoughts to dreaming

Allow your imagination to summon up

Reverie

Which offers you refuge

From this wounded place

Where we find ourselves so disconnected

What harm can there be

In seeking a place of peace and escape

From what has passed

And will only in haunting keep us stuck

In hurt

Hollowed out

Forced to become

A mere shadow of our self

Some memories summoned over and over

Keep our souls in prison

Those times are gone now

Memories when vanquished

Disappear on the breeze

Showing you that

There is alway a possibility for new life

When thought is surrendered

Can you dare to hope

When you know

How often hope disappoints

Thoughts can mislead you

Only feelings and experience are real

So different to this emotion

Fed by loss and lack

Everything it seems is fleeting

Can you trust this ground on which you stand

And the truth of thoughts

That may indeed be

Self created fictions?

Surrender yourself instead to this dreaming

And when it has had it way

Open your mind and body once again

To live fully in present time

Barricades dissolving

Fully embracing

The silence and mystery of

The new promise of

This fresh present moment
