BRINGING ME TO MY CENTER by Maureen Kwiat Meshenberg

I have been finding my way back to me…

Not with how I was raised, or through traditions or religion, but through meditation and finding my true me: my light, my dark, my everything.  

I am continually brought to a place of compassion and healing. It brings me again and again to that space of centering, as I shift and fold inward. Always bringing myself to the present living of me. This poem reflects this journey. May it reach and touch yours.

Bringing me to my center

relax oh my soul,

long enough to rest-

on your day's path with peace,

without wanting thoughts-

that wrestles with your conscious choice.

silently,

I listen to the voice-

within me,

it is my guide,

my friend,

my angel,

as it gently speaks to me,

to settle.

all that I receive-

finds the middle way,

between chaos and peace-

impermanence will never cease,

let me come to the moment-

where I am-

right now.

as it holds imperfection,

of living-

not molded by standards of this world,

but by my heart-

bringing clarity to all,

that whirls around me-

bringing me to my center.

Maureen Kwiat Meshenberg: About 3 years ago, I was awakened from my slumber, though it was a devastating breaking point in my life, I was reunited to a true relationship with my spiritual self and my gift through poetry. It is my intention to reach others by sharing my story through poetry and touching theirs. I am the Page owner of Heart’s Calling .I am also the Visionary Poet for the Facebook Magazine "Women as Visionaries with Lore Raymond" here. I recite spoken word at different venues and also host a monthly Creative Writing Circle using the space for women to bring out their inner release through written word. I am currently working on publishing a book of my poetry. I can be contacted through my Heart’s Calling Facebook page here.
