Notes on Life: Unwind

what would it feel like
to unwind?

what would it feel like
to allow the tension
you've grown so used to,
that it feels like it’s
part of you,
to move through you?

to transform
stagnant or painful
energy
into something useful
and expansive,
instead of something
heavy
and constricting,
like a life-giving flame?

what would it feel like
to unbind your mind
from incessant thoughts?

to unbind your body
from buried emotions?

to unbind your soul
from fixation
on the material world?

imagine
the release
to unwind

to unlock the shackles
and set yourself free.

imagine
how much time
and space
you'd have
to live.
