I forgot…

I forgot
myself.

I forgot
what I was trying to say.

I was stuck in thought,
sifting through, sorting, digging,
trying to find it again.

I forgot
to breathe,
to feel my feet on the ground,
to feel my hands grasping the pen,
the touch of the paper.

I forgot
to feel my heart
to hear its whispers and kindness.

I forgot
to look up and see outside the window
into the world this world we are in together.

I forgot myself
for a moment,
but I’m here now, always here,
in this body, in this time, in this space, in this moment.
