Slow down, sweet one
and remember
to simply pause

for what you’re yearning
seeking
desiring
and questioning

is already here

patiently waiting
delicately hidden
beneath your outer edges
within the spaciousness of the breath

allow the sights, sounds and sensations
of this very moment
to fully have you

invite the universal orchestra
of all that is
to sing you closer
to the essence of your soul

slow down, sweet one
and remember
to simply pause.
