Bury Me Like This

You know what's strange about spiritual change? It's how it sates a lifelong craving for connection in a way that you can't truly share. That conflict can leave a bittersweet resonance in the soul - a kind of empty ache. Everything is filled with new wonder, but you have to accept that nothing is the same, and maybe you're left trying to fit a new life into an old box. There becomes a latent "knowing" shared with only a few. The pull towards serenity becomes stronger and stronger, and the noise of the world blurs away as you regain a visual on some inner version of you - the hopeful child - that becomes irresistible. It becomes harder to return to "normality", but the smile has settled into your being and you know where you belong; and that is enough. You are already here.A collection of poems on capturing the sensation of falling out of sync with the world and becoming fully aware of your own spirit and its truth.
