Should just be showing up, and yet….

I find reasons,
excuses?
places to hide from…
What?
Or who?
(Whom?)
Me?
yes.

And yet….

This voice is clear and resonant when she sings
This heart is temerous and brazen when she dances
These eyes sparkle with the seeing and the being seen
No one needs to be looking for that to be true.

Relax.
Ease into it.
Close your eyes and bask in the knowledge that there is support here.
Even when everything feels a bit mixed up.
There is reason in the madness
and method in the rhyme.
