Pause to Contemplate

I do not consider myself a writer much less a poet.
Yet, I am a listener to Inner Present WISDOM.
I take notes on what I hear and share this Inner WISDOM with you.
That’s what I do . . . and your Inner Wisdom that knows LOVE is nudging you
to pause and listen too!

I Pause to contemplate
not knowing what I will find.
I Pause to contemplate
to be released from the bind.

I Step Back to truly see
what stands between you and me.
I Step Back to avoid sinking
into the void of ego thinking.

I Step Aside because I do not know
which way to go.
I Step Aside to receive the LOVE
that is always willing to show.

I let LOVE guide
I choose to Follow in the Pause.
First relinquishing my stride
having suffered seeking worldly applause.

I fear the unknown enemy inside and out,
yet it is not until I move towards that fear
that I cease seeking a way out.

I have relied on my self-made self for too long now
and so a still deeper gaze within
I am willing to allow.

I feel the wind anew
sending a quiet calm up my spine,
and now I see you as
no longer an enemy of mine.

What appeared to be you against me,
and me against you
is now an understanding
I never thought I knew.
