I met my inner child today, She woke with me and decided to stay. I felt her presence as my dream receded, I stilled my breathing, no words were needed. My awareness of her remained, peripherally, keeping rumination at bay, as she whispered to me.
I took some time and slowly edged nearer. Not face to face, less confronting, beside her. Stop trying so hard, she's paying attention. She hears all my thoughts, and knows my intentions.
I’m sorry. I’ve missed you. How could I leave you behind? We’ve been disconnected for such a long time. I’m here now, I see you, I won’t abandon you again. I’ve learnt my lesson. I hope you’ll remain.
I take her hand,
my eyes leaking tears.
I’m here little one.
I see you. I hear
pure mischief and joy,
tested to the limits;
unbreakable strength,
a warrior spirit.
She’s my guardian angel,
my most loyal defender.
She watches and listens
for any hint of danger.
Alert to my senses,
a red flag goes up.
When she leaps to protect me,
my defences spring shut.
I check in with her
as I go through my day.
She giggles each time
and then hides again.
A bright playful spirit,
joyfully free;
an effortless being
inside of me.
Now I gladly greet
my inner child each day.
She's usually waiting,
with something to say.
A word or a feeling
to light up my day.
To remind me that she trusts me
and that she chooses to stay.
