we have all the time in the world

Take me off your pedestal
I don’t have room up here to be whole
I don’t have space to make mistakes
Or feel my way through this uncertainty

Take me off your pedestal
So we can figure it out
Together
Down here
In the soil

We have all the time in the world

I’m only interested in your wholeness, too
Let yourself be messy with me, and kind
Overwhelmed, yet playful
Drowning in darkness, but oh so sweet

We don’t need perfect but intentional
Our care reciprocal
Our love mutual

We have all the time in the world

I’ve let my tears wash over me
I’ve let myself long for the potential of things I should let go of
Miss lifetimes and timelines
Mourn my deaths,
and rejoice in my many rebirths
Because all that too, is a part of me

I’ve watched you be anxious and afraid
Be ambitious and driven
Navigate your way through no longer being young,
and not yet old
No longer as wild as you were,
but still curious for more
Because all that too, is a part of you

I look for certainty so my brain doesn’t wonder and wander
But that is a losing game

I’m building a future with my knowing
that is completely unknown

So, I’ve slowed down
to see my steps
As I leap in trust

We have all the time in the world

I trust the information revealed for what it is
I’m not here to fix it
or manipulate

I’m excellent at solving problems
I see solutions before you even finish explaining your problem
But I’m learning it’s not all for me to solve
I’m learning that even though I see
If you can’t see
I can’t see for you

So, I slow down
I wear silk to bed
I make tea
I write my book
I cuddle my littles
I cry when I miss you
And I take the next babystep

We have all the time in the world
