Take me out beyond the breakers by Debbie Carrier

Take me out beyond the bobbing, floating markers that say “stop! Don’t go any further”
Take me out beyond the breakers
Putting the breaks on
Telling my heart to stop it’s softness
Telling my knowing to shut the doors
Turn out the light
Say goodnight
I’m tired of the fight

It should flow.

Let’s go in lightness of being
Stretch the heart out across the line of sight and melt into a moment
Of quiet
Beyond the breakers
Beyond the doubts
Beyond the clots that get stuck in the pipes
Beyond these city lights

Where is goodness
Going?

Where is everything I felt
When my heart was showing?

Take me out beyond the bobbing, floating markers that say “stop! Don’t go any further”
Take me out beyond the breakers
Putting the breaks on
Telling my heart to stop it’s softness
Telling my knowing to shut the doors
Turn off the midnight
Turn on the light
I’m tired of the way the world fights.

It should flow.
