I wrote today’s poem after a deep, healing moment on retreat. Lots of emotions were released and I began to feel that sense of rearranging and making more room for the light to come in. As I processed my experience I looked up at the sky and saw the cloud formations, reminding me of the constant subtle changes that we go through.

Sky Fall

The clouds form different shapes each day

As does our soul’s condition

The winds of change are here to stay

We’re always in transition

When I let through what feels most true

what’s new gets room to blossom

Sometimes our rage is overdue

Self-judgments may we toss them

The autumn leaves have many shades

Their colours always turning

We’re joyful, hopeful and afraid

Acceptance takes some learning

We feel, we stall, we fail, we fall

upon the ground, no reason

Regenerating with the pull

of each…
