We are Held – poem by Ali Grimshaw



By our Mother
you are held.

With your feet firmly grounded
you can feel her foreverness.

Lost is a choice you don't need to make.
Claim yourself free,

choose your stance, your pace,
and rest in the arms of her winds.

- With love for the many vulnerable.

  1. A heartfelt poem, Ali. When we are held and given space, we are loved. Nature is adept at doing that. All we have to do is stop and tune in to the beauty around us. And nature and the universe will speak to us. Nature doesn’t judge but is there for us when we are ready. Beautiful photos.

      Your thoughtful reflection is evidence that you received the intention of my poem. I find comfort every time I remember that I am held by the Earth. Thank you for your thoughts. Wishing you peace.☮️
