Remembrance

My heart shakes

My soul quakes

There's a new flutter to my being

Disoriented

Scared

Delighted to be here

My center wobbles

My yearning pulls

My defenses push

I forget

Then I remember

I forget again

I remember

The peaceful stillness

Amidst the shaking

I remember

The groundless ground

Within the disorientation

I remember

The alive wisdom

Of the yearning

I remember

The sweet innocence

Beneath the defenses

I remember

The simple surrender

Beyond the control

I remember

Then I forget

I remember again

I forget so that I may remember

I remember so that I may awaken

I awaken so that I may be here

Remembrance

Surrender

Awaken
