They say that goodbye is the hardest thing to say
I would dispute hello is the more difficult from what my heart has known
For in a hello we are vulnerably opening our hearts up
To a goodbye yet to be shown

5AM
Morning meditation
Allowing breath in and beautiful intentions out
Grateful in chime my eyes open, my spirit rooted in true
Beautiful impermanence noted in each moment
Gentle reminders
Vulnerability the gift we offer even when the day feels long
Authenticity a strength
Love and kindness are what I choose and where I belong
The taste of sweetness, an open honesty that lives in my heart
Genuine acceptance and the ceremonial wash of all that I feel
Morning mediation
Welcomes the day and that which is real
~Alisa Hutton
Distance
A widening dull gap between flat action and an exposed soul
Empty space that gathers between silence and vulnerability
Trepidation swallowing emotion without care to savor any taste
The flicker of a flame fighting for air
Fingertips barely touching
The heart that will soon be out of reach
The impotence of connection
-distance
~Alisa Hutton
