In stillness inhaling light
I wrap my pain with love
to let go of hurt
in the exhale
Feeling the breeze take away my worry
along with the “why’s”
as each breath brings me closer to
everything I understand
and all the things I never will

Taken from the song
Where Time Stands Still
Mary Chapin Carpenter
‘The more we cling, the less we trust!’ Beautiful lyrics ;)
Yes, her lyrics are exquisite. I had a hard time choosing which line to use. Thank you so much for your comment and follow! ♥
Sounds sad.
Sometimes life is sad.
Sometimes life is sad.
Yet it is because of the sadness that makes one appreciate the happy all the more.
Well said. There are many flavors in life to experience. Sadness is one of them. Not one I like to sample often, but without it, I may never fully appreciate the true beauty that lies in happiness ♥
it makes me think of …fear…and a think i realised during martial arts training the other night… that my fear to execute a technique properly puts me in more danger of being hurt….
What a beautiful insight, thank your for sharing that. I do struggle with fears and write about them, although in this piece I was writing more of accepting circumstances and letting go
i love mary chapin carpenter. so beautiful. thank you for the reminder..
My pleasure…
Heidi, your phrase, “everything I understand and all the things I never will,” is beautiful and haunting at once. I love it! It lingers in my mind.
I can’t take credit for that line Mike. It is a line that haunts me as well from the song I posted. Part of a poetry prompt. It is a beautiful song. ♥
