I’m Listening

by Paulette Brooks

Something is residing where it shouldn’t be Something is hiding  out of sight and sound It is not asking me to stand up for it It is not asking me to fight it where it’s found It won’t be cut or burned or poisoned It has a message, it’s making a point I’m called to listen, to ask, to be still To access all my bodies, inside and out To speak into the dark to the distortion To love myself more, no doubt To re-inform my cells To coax them awake and welcome them back To neutralise, to integrate, to come back to ease I’m listening I love you We can change We are healed.
