My body knows something I don’t

Industriously creating the conditions

for a life to thrive, to flourish

Weaving together the cocoon

unseen.

The unknown triggers feeling of 

fear, of frustration in me

How many heartbeats dwell within?

Will this body be knit together like 

the others?

I tell myself to breathe, to rest

in the ‘not knowing’

Performing daily rituals to 

honour the life that grows,

and sustain the body 

that is making it possible.

Bowing head to the One 

who is the Ground

of Being. 

This post is part of the #Write31Days challenge that I’m participating in along with talented community of other writers. We free write for five minutes (or more) each day guided by a prompt. Today’s prompt is ‘unknown’.
