By Dr Gail Cloud
The winds of change are calling into my ear
As I choose to listen even with my fear
What comes next
And what do I hold dear?
Is there a particular calling?
One that I can hold close to my heart?
Or is it time to nestle in, to listen to all my parts?
Sitting all day doing word puzzles and reading
Is there something particular that it would be good for me to be feeding?
LIfe is short and I want to make use of it
Is it fair to me and my ancestors near and far to use my time to just learn and think?
Life could be over in a blink
Who needs me and who wants my help?
This way of thinking and feeling is a legacy from my parents
Am I enough, and is it enough to just be and be kind?
If I couldn’t help them and I remember how that old bind feels
deep into my every cell
Should I spend my life lost in that old family spell?
Or maybe I could do something different and just concentrate on helping myself
The learning never ends and that is nothing I have to defend
To bring a little joy and kindness to me and to others
This would be a legacy that doesn’t shoulder the old family burden
Nor assume that others are dependent upon me which in itself smothers us
And covers us in dark old slime
To heal, to learn, to share, to be joyful and kind
The old family trauma asks, Is that enough
Listen to those winds
Sometimes a poem says it better than anything else!
