Bathe within our own thoughts.

If we serve ourselves first
fill our ears with the sounds
that allow the nerves to relax
massage the tightness from our backs
and bathe within our own thoughts
we can awaken
with our own self clarity
and whomever is left struggling
we together
will be ready to help
otherwise we will fail
because we cannot provide calm
we cannot provide mental clarity
we cannot
if we ourselves
haven’t tended
to the little thoughts
fluttering about our heads
they’ll provoke us
if we stay unaware of their intentions.

Thanks for reading.
