Try Softer

When you've tried harder, and still harder
And those illusory places you grasp for
The should be like this and the must get to there
Leaving you dry and dying
A burnt out hot mess
Then maybe it's time to try softer.

Gently finding yourself
In the it is like this and I am here now
Feeling the softening of your belly
Surrendering to this love that gravity has for you
Dancing from moment to moment
without forcing the bud.
