Pandora

Loving people who have

No need of my love…

Seeking my happiness

In keeping others happy…

Getting hurt trying

Not to hurt anyone…

Hiding my suffering

Under a mask of anger…

Always misunderstood

For speaking out…

Attempting to hold on

When tempted to give up…

Locking it all away

In my own box of pain…

Unwittingly opening it

When overwhelmed

Or in despair….

Like Pandora…

At peace

Feeling so strange

disconnected and adrift

No longer having

the urge to talk

or open up to anyone

comfortable in the

silence of my solitude….

Taking a good look

at my own self

through my eyes

accepting what I am

not what I appear to be

Without presuming….

Without thinking…

Listening to the

voice of my heart

feeling the pulse

of my soul...

No longer tied

to the beliefs

of others….

Rejoicing in my

completeness…

Rising beyond

my limitations…

Finally at peace

with my thoughts

….and myself….

In such a place...

It probably would be something

like this….the place

where I go to…deep

inside me….when I need to

get in touch with myself…

Where I can be alone

without ever being lonely….

Where I hear the silence speak

and feel the solitude seep in

soothing my thoughts…as they

dart here and there like

restless birds in flight….

Where I remove the cloak

worn in the outside world

and unleash myself to

the dancing winds…

the cleansing rains…

Where I sense the energy

flowing into me from

within….as my spirit soars..

one with the stillness

of the earth and the sky….

In such a place as this….
