So It Goes

By the water
along the road
I follow my steps
or so it goes.
The little things
pass the time
try to find
magic in the ordinary
sanity in the chaos.
I find the magic
but questions left unanswered
for I cannot see
the full picture
yet I remain steady
for all I can control is
me, myself, and I
somehow I have sanity
out of the way
out of the weeds
of grief that lingered
heavy, of depression
that left me treading.
Solid is the land I live
in learning to love myself
through all the sensitivity
and all the big feelings.
I am here, I am breathing,
I keep quiet in my being,
it’s how I feel them freely.
