A change of seasons

Another year on the rise

I turn in the mirror

There’s something I’ve wanted to say…

“It takes two to dig deep”

My brain is tired from running

I only have so many places to hide

In the depth of the fear

Is where my so-called substantial truth resides

“It takes two to dig deep”

This heart is sore from doubt

The pumping veins, they lay

Can I avoid the urge to soul search at all costs?

Staying put will be the hardest thing I do all day

“It takes two to dig deep”

A mind clenching in gloom

It wants sunlight – it wants release

Coming forth with honest words

It’s a luxury, a style, a way of peace…

“It takes two to dig deep”

My core speaks her way into oblivion

Casual at times, yet grey

Discern me from the senseless emotions

Help me while I unnecessarily contemplate

“It takes two to dig deep”

I walk, I tamper

I’m buried knee deep in it all

If I could just let my voice do the talkin’

Make the inner chatter come to a stall

“It takes two to dig deep”

The heart of the worry

The mind of the soul

They’ve moved but an inch

Already, they’re gold!

“It takes two to dig deep”

No more detriment in my confidence

“Take your blinders off” they’ll say

I’m moving to the beat of every moment

Living each day with more familiarity, more elegance, more grace…

“It takes two to dig deep”

I stare back in the mirror, as these leaves start to fall

Just like this porcelain skin of which has been shed

A new concept I’m holding onto dearly

I am my own best friend

“It takes two to dig deep”
