This year, I suppose,
perhaps I can finally lose
every thought of your name
every memory of your eyes blinking
slowly, trying to hold back the waterfall
certainly willing to spill
had I not made the promise to stay alive.
What is it that disconnects a soul tie?
The truth, there is almost nothing that can disconnect it completely
But there are ways to weaken it.
With synchronicity devoid of timing - it weakens
With love devoid of action - it weakens
With acceptance devoid of hope - it weakens
With time devoid of presence - it weakens
It appears after a flood, a consistent flow, a fluid motion from the sky to the earth. It channels, it engraves its path and it does so with both ease and turbulence. It takes with it debris, new life and a gravitational purpose. And then there is the overflow. The free fall over the edge - when there is no other option. It can be a slow almost unnoticeable trickle of change in direction. Or it can be consistently average in size and strength. Without being too strong it allows a lot more to be. Sometimes miles long and tonnes heavy, a momentous sight of spectacular power only to be admired from far. The best kind are the waterfalls of balance. The waterfall you get to explore with your body heart and mind. Cleansing yet adventurous. Cool yet inviting. Slightly daring yet spontaneously natural. I do go chasing waterfalls because all the rivers and lakes don't reflect rainbows and magic like they do.
"What would you ask for, if you knew the answer was Yes?"
Not being able to place exactly where how and why, I know my question instinctively.
However the answer is bigger than me. It's bigger than all I can see and understand.
My question is an illusion I've either learned incorrectly or I've been foolishly too partial to its idea.
Individual versus shared feelings.
I truly believed for a long time, most times still do, that my partiality was not conclusively one sided. I truly believed for a long time, most times still do, that if all the stars aligned and fell from the sky they would do so solely to illuminate that the galaxy was for us. A meteor shower. But not one short-lived streak of amazing light made of dust and dirt. No. All the stars falling. Continuous light, wonder and debris that makes it a natural phenomenon.
Their purpose for us to put back into circulation of the universe all that we have, are and I forever wish to be.
This thinking will not weaken the soul tie. This thinking will not change anything. Yet I do it regularly and often without even realizing.
With purpose devoid of attachment - it weakens
With acquiescence devoid of imperfect contrition - it weakens
With focus devoid of obsession - it weakens
With forwardness devoid of recklessness - it weakens
The truth, there is almost nothing that can disconnect it completely
But there are ways to weaken it.
With synchronicity devoid of timing - it weakens
With love devoid of action - it weakens
With acceptance devoid of hope - it weakens
With time devoid of presence - it weakens
