ferocious oasis
a poem by Meghan Bay
how brave are you?
can you hold your emotions in your hand
using curiosity as an instrument
to play the mysterious melody that is you?
can you listen?
without trying to force the unknown
into the known.
without trying to strip mystery down
to match your fear.
without trying to push the limitless
into limits.
you are not confined
you have an opportunity to climb
so you know your truth
when you reach the light.
so you know your roots
when you breathe into the night.
bravery is not to conquer the dark.
it is
to befriend it.
to understand it.
to question it.
you are called to return back to the wild
ferocious, mystery within…
so you can hold the bravery it takes
to sit softly with yourself.
to run passionately into yourself.
so you can listen
to the mysterious melody within
and dance with celebration
knowing this is where
the story is placed in your hands.
