How to stop being broken

Step outside into the sun

Kneel down onto the Earth

Wrap your hands around dried up shriveled old dead plants

Pull, rip and tear

Clear the away the old

Make way for the new

Put your hands in the dirt

Feel the cool moisture

And the soft texture

Use your hands 

and dig a shallow hole

Scoop the dirt out 

And push it aside

Notice the dirt under your fingernails

Take wildflower seeds

Pour them into your palm

Run your fingers through 

Feel the grainy texture

Sprinkle the seeds 

Into the hole you dug

Sit

Breathe

Let yourself go

The pain swell

Let your tears flow

Let them drop 

One by one

Fall onto the seeds

Breathe

Believe

You will be whole again

Fill the hole with dirt again

Give the Earth a gentle pat

As if it is your baby 

That you are tucking in at night

You are that baby

Rest

You are blessed

You are a wildflower 

You will dance in the sun
