Shaking.

Written By B DeVeaux

I’m attempting to catch my breath.

Stop my body from shaking.

It seems unfeasible.

One second I’m there, the next I’m not.

It’s all happening so fast, and yet, I can’t remember the moment that just passed.

What happened? Is there something wrong with me?

Where on this journey, did I take a wrong and couldn’t see?

But there is no wrong. No write.

Only song.

I can only find the words in my heart. Only in my spirit , do I feel at home.

Only with my ancestors do I feel protected.

Exhale.

I’m starting to get it now.

Still crying myself to sleep, I think I can see through the fog.

Through the wells of my eyelids and into something better

I never went wrong.

This was only a part of my story.

I had to come here to find the pieces of myself I was missing.

I had to be here for this.

For this moment.

To be able to see things clearer than ever before.

To be able to close and LOCK my door.

I’ve learned boundaries.

Yes, I thought I was alone, but I’ve actually found God in me.

I’ve found the light that refuses to go out.

And burns profusely inside.

This fire refuses to die.

Body still shaking, getting ready to explode.

My kinetic energy is rising and I’m ready to go home.

It’s time.

Be at peace.

Only now, are you able to see

Because of the road you decided

You’ve uncovered magic,

Yes it was hard to find, but now, why would you hide it?

Inhale.

Exhale.

I caught my breathe again.
