Melting

When life feels hard,

I get soft, soft like cream.

I get sweet, sweet like nectar.

Then I forget and

I’m trying so hard,

I’m struggling to have it.

I’m trying so hard,

my head’s just above it.

Then I remember and breathe and choose soft.

I choose soft, soft like cream.

I choose sweet, sweet like sugar.

Sometimes I forget and

I’m working so hard,

I’m fighting to have it.

I’m working so hard,

my head’s just above it.

I’m going nowhere working hard without flow.

Then I choose wiser.

I’m letting go.

I’m getting softer and softer,

I’m melting away.

I’m feeling better and better,

I’m making my day.

There really is no place to get to,

I’ve already arrived.

I’m sitting here breathing

and feeling this space.

I’m melting like butter.

I’m living with grace.
