Sit With It

Some days it feels like static in my chest Mind say move, body say rest Old habits knocking like they know my name “Run away now” — same old game But I see it clearer than I used to see This wave in the system ain’t really me Just energy passing through the room Thunder rolling but it always moves It ain’t unbearable My thoughts just say it is Storm in the signal But I can sit with this Sit with it Let it move through Nothing here is permanent Nothing here is you Sit with it Let it rise and fall Even heavy weather Doesn’t stay at all Mind says danger Body says heat But the earth holds fire Under its feet Rivers carve stone Grass fills the land Nothing in nature Hurries its plan So I breathe in patience Let the wave be known Discomfort talking But I stay home It ain’t unbearable My thoughts just say it is Noise in the system But I can sit with this Sit with it Let it move through Nothing here is permanent Nothing here is you Sit with it Let it rise and fall Even heavy weather Doesn’t stay at all Old pattern whispers “Run away fast” But I watch the moment Turn into past What I was fleeing Was never the storm Just the old habit Of leaving the form Sit with it Let it move through Presence growing Quiet and true
