An Invitation

It’s been a long time since something with the flow of poetry came from me, and yet I was driven to write this. I believe that sometimes energy speaks louder than anything, and I’m not sure I wrote this entirely for myself. So consider this an invitation - perhaps you were reaching out for someone (whether you realized it or not) to listen, to hear you on a deep level, to understand.

Now is the time to reach out. Let’s talk. Let me listen. I hear you.

The words ring so loudly in my head, can’t people hear them?

How much noise am I crying over that my requests are muted and dim?

What is the clamor in your head that keeps you separate and distant from those around you?

I seek your support, your light, your love,

My awkward words can’t quite express my mix of humbleness, desire, fear, and hope.

My subtle gestures don’t do justice to the massive request I am,

To help me provide of my soul to the world.
