I Keep Coming Back
by on November 1, 2011 in Poetry

I keep coming back
To the love
And connection
To the reminder that
I’m not alone
To the pause in between
When I think
And I act
Watching
As we both grow
I keep coming back
To breath
Linked to movement
And feeling the ground
Under my feet
To gratitude
And kindness
And looking for the lessons
So I don’t fall into
Self pity
I keep coming back
To being open and willing
To listen
And truly hear
To be useful
To others
Through sharing
What’s helped me
Work through
Resentments
And fears
I keep coming back
To picking up my guitar
To singing
And photography
And whatever
Lights me up
To the things
That fill my body
With energy
And the belief
That I have enough
I keep coming back
To the present moment
And getting out of
The future and past
Planning what I’m going
To eat
Wear
Say
Or do
Replaying conversations
I’ve had
I keep coming back
To the vibration I feel
In my chest
When I’m connected
To a power
Greater than me
To sitting with discomfort
And knowing it will pass
To moving through
Instead of avoiding
I keep coming back
To forgiveness and faith
That everything is
As it should be
And will work out okay
To putting one foot
In front of the other
I keep coming back
Everyday
