Yes

Embedded in the mystery
is the one thing
I cannot unravel
dissect or tear apart —
it is my soul
saying ‘Yes’

Through the chaos
contortions
digressions
my soul speaks to me
and I have followed it
not always knowing why.

To this day, ‘Yes’
has obliged me to stay
and devour the doubt
the scrooge
the unknowing one
the one not wanting
to look so deeply
the one not wanting
to open up and share.

My soul knows
to repeat this to me
time and again
till I fully embrace
and trust it —
to follow ‘Yes’

and here I am.
