#52. As I am, now
Don’t ask me to explain myself
What I want or what I don’t
Don’t ask me to explain myself
Who I love or who I don’t.
Because I’d have changed before
you completed your question.
My mind is again reborn
before my answer is formed.
I am transformed, so suddenly
right in mid-sentence.
I become a new person,
wiser, at peace, no longer tense
like I was a few moments ago
All confused and torn up!
So pay close attention
to this new present me, now.
And really see me finally
and love me as I am in the now.
Love me now, fully and totally.
Because in a breath I’d have disappeared
and a new woman will stand in my place.
Majestic, tall and strong, her light I’d feared.
She’s lived in me long before my history
But I’d never really dared to meet her yet.
Each day she reveals a little stunning mystery,
a new layer I now embrace and will never forget.
You may recognize the signs if you so care.
Of the old lost me on her knowing face.
For they are still lurking there,
not completely erased and wiped out.
As gentle reminders, replayed like an old film
that this amazing journey is not a dream.
And she’ll leave behind a few clues, here and there
so her new path you may easily re-trace.
So my love, let’s not fret or worry
about what tomorrow will bring about.
The future will come to us in a hurry.
So ponder not on the ‘why’ and the ‘what’, the ‘how’
Simply dare to open up and accept me as I am, now.
And slowly, let’s learn to re-discover each other –
two familiar strangers meeting yet again.
Free of the past’s heavy weight and pain
Let’s take this unknown journey further and farther.
For with every single choice we make
and with every single breath we take,
a part of us dies and another is reborn.
Unraveling this mystery is but a sweet torment
Simply love me as I am now, in this moment
Together, facing the light, let us both transform.
