Distance my heart
griefmusictimeloveidentitymortality
Distance my heart
It is too attached
Unbind the ties
Tightly strapped
Against impact
A contrecoup
Is more than a good shake
The restriction
Of movement
A protection
Against a rush of blood
In defence of
Good husbandry
Increased flow
Can promote
An outpouring
Of energised endorphins
An imbalance
Of light-headed
Proportions
However well meaning
The wellbeing
Of safety first
A comfort zone
Is by definition
A narrow confine
The closed system
May simply
Need to pause
For the passing
Of a moment
And consider
The implication
Of release
Embrace the feeling
Trust the inclination
To proceed
Gather yourself
Follow your heart
