The Love That Made Me

There is a place within the soul where stillness can be found, Beyond the noise of every thought and every feeling moving around. A place that simply watches without needing to decide, A quiet presence waiting where awareness can reside. It does not chase the moment or fight what comes and goes, It simply sees the river of life as everything unfolds. The mind may bring its worries, the heart may bring its pain, But the witness stays unmoved through every passing rain. It sees the rise of anger, it sees the fall of fear, Yet remains a steady presence when emotions appear. Because not every thought that enters deserves a place to stay, Not every feeling that arrives must control the choices of the day. Sometimes we become prisoners to the stories in our mind, Believing every emotion is the truth we have to find. But awareness brings a freedom that the reaction cannot give, A space between the moment and the way we choose to live. The observer does not judge us for the battles we have faced, It simply brings compassion to every hidden place. It sees the human journey with understanding and grace, Allowing us to witness every part we try to erase.
