unraveling the fabric

i want to unravel the fabric tonight,
the fabric of an ordered life.
i want to ask for a miracle

the miracle is acceptance.  acceptance of what is
rather than fighting what "should" be

my mind wrestling my heart into a quandry
knowing
                better

craving arms that hold me close
and whisper that all is
                                 ok
even when the threads
 are  coming  undone

i don't want to hear words
hollow  gasping  pleading

for a pattern

it's time to let the pieces fall
moments of time
released into the
                             space
of holding on
when it's time
to
let go  of you  

trusting in the
                   fabric of the world
    knowing there is order
in my soul
even when i can't feel it

this tension a
                    miracle  
                               
wrapping me in 
love


i can say good bye
from here

that is the order

my mind was unraveling
itself or so i pretended
but
 i know this is in
                          perfect order
in an ordered world

  1. thanks Kyle for sending me the inspiring quote that helped me create some peace with my choice to not go back to my grandma's funeral this week. i just can't figure out how i can sanely manage it... so i truly need to accept that i can say good bye from here. i want to release my fear of disappointing others by not making the effort the way i "should". love is everywhere... love is believing in the order when i don't see it. love love love... let that be my mantra
