And there it was once again,
The unconscious thinking, the intense pain;
The stream of thoughts, emotes through the self,
Not able to hold, I cry out for help;
For a reflective space, in which I can dissolve,
My mental conditioning and to further evolve;
Expecting nothing short of a miracle,
I turn to my friend, my coach, my journal.
My journal is my friend,
A true mate, that I can depend;
My loving neighbor, with no doors to knock,
Always by my side, always ready to talk;
It offered me a page, one after the next,
I poured it all there, in an endless text;
Till a full stop, at the end of my trouble,
Thank you, my friend, my coach, my journal.
What does this journal do to me?
I wonder, how did it help me, to BE;
It must be the space that it holds,
The space of love and care, in which it all unfolds,
Actively listening, all the time,
Accepting the whole of me, as I am;
Ever so simple, neither attached nor judgmental,
My partner in presence, my coach, my journal.
