”Presence”
by Adrianne Tamar Arachne

I’ve prepared a place 

For you to come 

And bring everything you are

And everything you are not.

I’ve quieted every judging sense 

I’ve silenced every urgent elsewhere,

For you to sit here, with me,

In true presence.

Here, we will allow

What is wild to return 

As itself 

Because we will be Here enough 

For it all to feel safe. 

Here

We will find 

What it takes 

To truly sit 

With anything 

And everything 

As it flies 

Scurries 

Croaks 

Squawks 

Or hunts

And remember 

How to just be 

With all of it

Without trying to make any of it

Anything else. 
Here. 

Here is where I’ve prepared a place for you to sit.

Will you be here with me?
