song for the world weary

Posted on by face2facewiththesky 
when your heavy bones
 wish to sink to the depths
 go now to the quiet place
 where the world cannot 
overcome.
remember:

all of these things will pass.
thoughts
--
 feelings
--
 pain
--
 heartache
--
all will dissolve someday

replaced only by light.
your decision lies 

in the dissolving.
will you cling bitterly
 to sinking stones
or will you swim

flailing & gasping

to break the sunlit surface

& let that which does not serve you fall?
it is always our choice
yours and mine.

 this is our power.

anything can be poetry if you're brave enough.

    Friends, I’ve started blogging again at a new address: facetofacewiththesky.com. Below is a sample post. Posts will still be dedicated to mental health, with more of a focus on spirituality. Spirituality and mindfulness has been essential to my healing and learning to cope day to day with anxiety and depression. I’m ready to share that part of myself with you all. Follow me at facetofacewiththesky.com if you’re interested in sharing the journey. I miss you all and would love to get back in touch. Peace be with you, Jenna
