I’m not sure you’re listening
to the unsaid and unheard
conversation that is happening
between moments in the noise
that surrounds every moment

I’m not sure you’re hearing
what seems so loud around you
in the dance around the obvious
thoughts that hang in the silence
between the known and unknown

I’m not sure you know what is
right in the memories so deep
and the moments that drift
by every time you ponder a
future that can never come

I’m not sure, so we still wait
and watch for a time to say
what is unsaid and unheard
until a quiet moment appears
and allows silence to speak

Let your feet take you where your mind slows down
When the world around you is too much to bear
And the people surrounding you don’t seem to care
Let your feet take you far, to a quiet place go

Let your feet take you where emotions are calmed
When your worry mounts up and you’re filled with doubt 
Find solace in the wild space that you seek out
Let your feet take you far, to a peaceful place go

Let your feet take you where your soul can rest
When anxiety builds and dark thoughts start seething
Bring nothing with you but your presence and breathing
Let your feet take you far, to a placid place go

Let your feet take you where nature can heal
When your heart is heavy and the pain is too much
Hear the wind in the trees, feel its soft gentle touch
Let your feet take you far, to a secret place go

Wounded

And there is no healing on the horizon
Normalcy is a state that can’t be found
Searching, seeking

Lost

And adrift with no peace within reach
Comfort is an emotion that is elusive
Wandering, wondering

Afraid

And alone with no anchor to hold fast
Strength comes in fleeting moments
Running, racing

Know

And accept wounds as painfully present
A new normal to be faithfully charted
Stopping, starting

Believe

And open fully to an unexplored space
Wrap warmly in a blanket of family
Embracing, entering

Hope

And trust that somewhere in the darkness
A lightness will come to a weary soul
Lifting, loving
