Realign Within: A Breath at the Crossroads

 There come times in life when we simply move on,

continuing to do what we must.

We live to ensure responsibilities are met,
matters addressed.
Yet we forget to take a breath—
that breath that makes us stop
and realise we need time for ourselves.

The self that does all that is required,
that functions in multidimensional ways,
that has the spine to keep going.

There come times in life when we simply move on,
continuing to do what we must—
that moment when your heart takes a beat,
that beat reminding you that you are human.

The human who must engage within,
as the pulse affirms you're alive.
The human who forgot to take time
to fill the-self.
The human who finds themselves at a crossroads.

That crossroads signals all directions,
Yet you must realign within yourself.
Put yourself first—
first in a way that keeps you human,
That lets you remain you.

For in that everlasting love,
Your lived reality of connection thrives.
