Emergence

Between the worlds © Maria Ismanah Schulze-Vorberg

The moment of waiting
in silence
anticipating the words
to flow
It feels like observing the ocean
from afar
wondering about the depths
life inside
when will it, the life, emerge
see light
the surface smooth with waves
rolling rhythm
time seemingly coming to a halt
stillness spreading
waiting, still waiting for the flow
of words.

When a sudden movement emerging
within myself
urging me to move towards the ocean
taking a leap
into the waters beneath the surface
daringly deep
and there they were waiting for me
the words
vibrating with life and longing
take form
I just needed to reach out
and touch
with my inner hands
sparkling bliss
for the flow of words
to emerge.
