Poetry from Soularize
November 22, 2022 | Posted by Illuman Admin | Drumbeat, Poetry, Soularize, UncategorizedWe were blessed with poetry this year at Soularize. Each session began with an offering by our poet-in-residence (and Ohio Illuman Convener) Brian Mueller. This poem is from our Opening Session…
Something Opens
It’s drafty in here.
Something opens
every time I say yes.
Something opens
when I hope for the hopeless.
Something opens
when I share my secrets.
Something opens
when death takes someone away.
Something opens
every time I take a breath
and lead with my heart,
not with my head.
Something opens
through becoming present,
then freely giving
what doesn’t belong to me.
Something opens…
Something opens…
Something always opens.
Something opens
every time I say yes.
Something opens
when I hope for the hopeless.
Something opens
when I share my secrets.
Something opens
when death takes someone away.
Something opens
every time I take a breath
and lead with my heart,
not with my head.
Something opens
through becoming present,
then freely giving
what doesn’t belong to me.
Something opens…
Something opens…
Something always opens.
From Jonah: Brian’s Poem of the Day {Vol. 3}, Brian Mueller
