Reconnecting

It’s time to step out and away
into long needed space,
to see and to face
My life’s reality;
What’s been done,
What I do,
What I need,
Reconnecting with ME.

As many others, I’ve come
into unexpected life scum:
Substance unplanned for;
jolting,
revolting distress.
Not life dreams at their best.

We tend to put pieces of ourselves aside
So we can become and be
Whatever we believe,
Real or imagined:
demands,
expectations, other’s needs;
What we think we SHOULD be.

Personal consumption
Made up of sincerity,
pretense, and assumptions
exists at times
to meet needs.
But for now,
I’ll pause to be,
and believe,
all I’ve longed for in thoughts & dreams.
Reconnecting with ME.
