Poem: The Passing Phase

A friend, who read my last piece, suggested I share one of my poems.  It sounded like a good idea and so I pulled out one that I feel really fits the spirit of this blog… Namaste.

The Passing Phase

Say goodbye to the passing phase

the one where you were stuck for so long

   it became you

              and you became it.

Can you name it?                                             

Do you need to?

Analyzing…Thinking…

Why do it?

Say goodbye to the passing phase.

Let it go like it was a passing phrase

–like it was small talk

        at a party you overstayed.

Are you afraid?

Will you walk the walk?

Accepting…Surrendering…

Yes, do it!

Say hello to this present moment

– the one you’re in right now.

You bet it’s real.

Savor it 

– flavor it yourself

        because you own it.

…Just Be.

–Angela Loëb
