Courage, She Calls

original acrylic, pencil and pastel on stretched canvas 

102 x 152 cm 

when the heart runs away
and beats ragged
Lean in, she calls
tilt gaze and body forward
and eye it
curious
just for now

and onward

Lie down, she calls
dive deep beneath the churning
underneath the tumult
wait it out
against the sandy bottom is safety
so be still
just for now

then onward

bear witness to this time
to this happening
Listen, she calls
attend
accompany it
and be here
for now

still onward

unbind, unloose your hold
Let go, she calls
of the tangle and tie that no longer serves
to winnow this weight
you will need all your brave
become it
just for now

ever onward

Last, she calls
like you were meant to
steely
and soft
and steady
even amid the shake
be the one
for now
to press onward
