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
