The dance between dusty thoughts and childlike giggles
Dark skies while sipping on my pain
Simplicity is savored in a porcelain tea cup, it’s a Bergamot kind of day
Paralyzing grief served on Friday’s plate
Numbed by uninhibited dancing on Saturday with a random fake
The day will dawn
The night will darken
Who I am in this moment
With just one sentence
Is perfectly forgotten
By Alisa Hutton
A good book
The scent of morning coffee
Silence in my space, a peace I love and know
Meditation with my chest pulled back, reminding me to keep my heart fully open
Clarity of the heart in mindful simplicity
Expanding and contracting my soul, felt deeply in my bones
Breathing in to my core, settled in who and what I feel and know
The sound of the leaves rustling in the breeze and the early morning giggles of my little boy
Sitting in love on Sunday morning
The simple picture of my life and the seeds I have tenderly sown
~Alisa Hutton
That day
Her glass castle shattered in to a thousand pieces
A white flag and a deep exhale the only signs of life deposited on her shore
Today, sweet textures of love and story paving her road
All the broken pieces of glass forming her humble mosaic of whole
The past, unnecessary conceptual overlay that dampens a genuine soul
If you seek her, present is where you will find her spirit in solid hold
Her heart open, held in tender and worn hands
On a seldom rainy day in quiet blink she remembers a once diluted way
And that precious moment it all went astray
All the colors that arced her darkness and light
The silhouettes and shadows that broke her one unannounced night
You don’t need to confirm with her the strength you see in her dark eyes
For it was in the clarity of her weakness when she realized how deeply she was cut and bleeding
That Day
She came to understand it was the simplicity of her own honor and love she was truly needing
~Alisa Hutton
How do you say goodbye to love, effectively let it go?
Perhaps you don’t
Perhaps you aren’t supposed to
Maybe that is why love is so special
Maybe once you have felt love it lives inside of you until the end of time
Could it be we aren’t supposed to fear love
Could it be we aren’t supposed to grieve love
In my simplistic heart and untethered mind
Love seems to be something special
I curiously wonder
What would happen
If when we found it
We just said I love you
If when we found it
We simply felt
Trusting that no matter what path the love takes
Love will always exist
Love will just be
Forever more
~Alisa Hutton
In shortness of breath
Trust the dance and awakening that comes from the dawn of your discomfort
As your chest clenches in tight
When silence screams and white noise grates on every last nerve
As feelings are choked off from placid flow
Offer your silent gratitude in the uneasiness of it all
Your heart is fighting to burst open
Like a lotus flower you are destined from seed
To grow through the mud in order to reach full bloom
When your body’s calm seems to be aggressively locked away and directionless thoughts in a fast paced race
An exhausting marathon you don’t recall wanting to enter
Respect the scenery and feel each step you take
Walk a path that is lit with simplicity and mindfulness along the way
Embrace your intellectual mind and stop to give it a warm hello
It is only running so fast in search of your authentic soul
In the damp and darkness when your body won’t sit still
When you wish you could climb out of your own skin, not sure you can handle any more
Don’t run away
Don’t try to hide
Lean in as far as you can and dive in to the waters below
Tuck blind faith under your arms with age and experience they will help you float
Trust the salt to heal your spirit and unneccessary sores
Relax in to your buoyancy when needing peace and rest
Lay your head on the lap of the trusted love of who you are at your core
For the discomfort you feel that is waking you up at night
Is simply your heart reminding you to always shine your beautiful light
