Intrusion

[CircleWalker]

Intrusion
 
I beg pardon for the intrusion
Yet intrude I must
For I am called to speak
 
My challenge … my difficulty
Is in stopping before I say too much
Before I ramble on
Losing the audience
 
Rarely do I say too little
Unless I have held my tongue
And said nothing
 
Silent I have been
Too often in my life
It is something I simply
Can no longer be
 
So intrude I do
Trusting the guidance I am given
Is once again proven true

I really love this poem. I need to take this advice.

Thank you so much!

I wrote this poem a few years ago after I had walked through some significant changes in my life. These changes were both external and internal. And on a number of occasions I had intruded in the moment with complete strangers because I felt strongly called to do so. I each case, something specific was put on my heart to say, and it was well received.

I could say so much more, but I will simply end by saying that I would never have approached these strangers before I had walked through those changes. And this poem was "given" to me, it emerged, to help me understand.
