Watcher Above The Storm

​

You have a voice, but you're not what you say,
Thoughts come and go like the tides in the bay.
You have a heart that beats in your chest,
But you are not that—you're more than the rest.

 

You have a mind that spins and reacts,
Whispers of worry, judgments as facts.
But pause for a moment, take one step back—
Who is the one that watches this track?

 

You are the watcher, the one who can see,
Not just the thinker who thinks endlessly.
The battle inside may rise and may fall,
But you are the one who embraces it all.

 

Watch as the struggles seem to tear you apart,
One pulls away, the other one smarts.
Watch with compassion, with eyes that are kind,
Curious and open—no chains on the mind.

 

If you are angry, if fear’s taking hold,
Let it all flow—just witness, behold.
Step to the side and meet it with grace,
Curiously watching with no need to chase.

 

You are not thoughts, nor feelings that flare,
You are the one who is simply aware.
No need to change, no need to strive,
Just watching with love and being alive.

 

History has whispered, "This must be your way,"
But watch what’s there, if it goes or it stays?
Step-by-step and moment-by-moment,
Curiously kind with no need for atonement.

 

Rise to that place where no storm can shake,
Watch with compassion every move that they make.
The war inside is not yours to end—
For you are the space where nothing offends.
