It is not for me
To tell you where you went wrong
To advise
Without the premise of your permission
Or request to do so
It is not for me to judge
Particularly when you sit there so dejected
Clearly judging yourself
It is not to me to point out your errors, mistakes and flaws
But instead to get down here on the floor alongside
Where you fell down
To sew neat stitches in the holes torn in your hide
Roll over
Look at the stars
And hold space, love, peace in our hearts
This sacred knot
Was not given to us to hang each other
But rather to bind our hands
So that no matter how far apart we grow
Nor what the world throws
We can find our way back
Find one another to lean on
One hand over the other
Pulling back along the rope
Oh there you are
Right when I had lost all hope
There you are
Always
❤️
Yes💫
100% trus
A love story. 🙂
Well Widds I found myself picking and womansplaining the other day and suddenly thought “woah! This is not what my role is supposed to be” takes a lot of weight off too. Our loved ones, even our kids – at least the adult ones – don’t need us to be one more damn person that has a bright idea about where they are going wrong. Just a brain fart I had you know?
This is lovely!
Thanks 😊
Well wrote. I wish I could write like this
You write how you write how you write – everyone is different which is the fascinating thing about writing ✍️😌
So very true! 😀
Very beautiful!
Thanks Lucy – I was just checking out your blog – you have some lovely work there 💫
This is such a beautiful piece! So gentle and lovingly reassuring.
I love this line in particular: “Without the premise of your permission” I love how it sounds and how it looks and what it means.
Thank you – it was a heartfelt little
Poem stemming from a realisation I had – I’m glad you like it
You’re very welcome! 🙂
This is so deep and beautifully written ❤️
Thank you!
Night is a time of calm, relaxation and recovery! May all the fatigue accumulated during the day go away and you wake up in the morning … ARTISANA
Reminds me of the song “table for one” by Brandi Carlile and Sam Smith. This was beautiful Kate, a good reminder that I don’t have to “fix” everyone and everything, I have such masculine energy when it comes to my loved ones having issues.
Me too …it’s very freeing to realise you are not in charge of everything and actually don’t make much of a difference so better off just being supportive
So beautiful. Loved it
Thanks Smitha 😘
