Standing Guard














What curls into my thought is mine.
It may call itself an imposition,
an annoyance I can’t help but feel,
(given someone else’s words or actions)
a rage, a grief, a clamping up,
a leak that stains and undermines my walls

But everything within my thought is mine
and I can grasp it,
trace it back along the lines of need,
find what’s calling out
and meet it with compassion,
let my love rise up as answer

What comes into my thought is mine —
If I can feel it,
it means that I can also find the truth to heal it.
