Acceptance

My mind will always be

A part of me

But oh my what agony and heartache

It sometimes causes

When I see things only through limiting filters

Coloured over by fears

Or unacknowledged grief

Or judge the situation purely on my own

Will and desires

How much can I really see?

So lately I try to suspend judgement

And notice when it rises

Asking my heart

Is there another way to view this

From a deeper place

Of accepting limits and the tangled up complexity

Of human beings?

Then the tightening loosens and drops

And often emotions I buried rise

As surrender to what is revealed

Accepting how little of life

Is under my control
