Everything Has Changed

I'm processing through poetry more and more, so here is my latest offering:

I think I am a wandering minstrel
Spinning my song as I go
There and back again
Un-tethered, I am free to travel
Adaptable, I easily flow as
Air: light, wild, unpredictable
Earth: rooted in truth
I am reaching balance
Becoming healthier, more and more
I feel it, from the inner clockwork
To the outer shell
The cracks repair
The time has arrived
Say goodbye to former fears
Dawn has come, day begun
Wings have grown
The time has come to fly
There will be no glancing back, reaching for things past
They satisfy no longer
"You are ready, go out, you can make it on your own," is uttered
The choice is made, the course is set
The time for owning has begun
Who I am
I am me
Changing constantly
Messy, friendly, entertaining, passionate, God-breathed
Artist

Shaped

Stories flowing over me

Water slowly eroding

Shaping, creating who I am

How can I resist the constant pressure?

How do I shape what has shaped me?

I am water too

I erode you

Do I make you jagged and broken

Or soften the edges others have made?

I am both

Silt

Impure, and rough

I cut through rock

Reaching your heart

What do I do when I get there?

Movement

Moving is losing the voice that tells me I can't in a joyous flow of steps
It doesn't have to make sense
There are no thoughts, only pulsing impulses
I'm giving myself to them, letting them rip through me
Spinning, pounding, slipping, moving, slowly, quickly
The driving need to find the next place to be my sanctuary
Escape, oasis, my reality
Away from fear and doubts, cries of all that's lost
My pocket of peace, where all I have to do is be

Freefall

On stage
Looking in your eyes, it seems I'm
Hearing these words for the first time
My mind spins with how to respond
My mouth is moving, saying my next line
This is a new sensation, I'm not sure what's coming
Yet I know this rhythm, for we've been practising
How could each carefully crafted moment hold a new discovery?
Nothing is default
This is what it is to freefall

Thoughts after acting class today. What it's like to be in a scene so deeply, that you don't know what's coming next, yet you do. It's hard to describe. It's freefall.
