The prompt for Poets and Storytellers United is The world is burning but..
The World Is Burning
The world is burning
but do not despair.
Know that new currents of consciousness
are slowly changing the water.
So plant your roots deep.
Stay grounded.
We need you:
your laughter,
your gentle care,
your quiet courage,
to trust the shooting stars,
to trust yourself.
Do not cover the sky
with your hands.
Surrender.
Let the fierce wind
tangle itself in your hair.
Unlatch the small door of your heart
and listen
to the words
that fall like snowflakes
and whisper:
Never be afraid.
All you are ever asked to offer
is the love already living
inside you.
I loved the positive conversation with the inner self in this poem. When the inspiration comes from inside, nothing can stop us.

I am afraid that what is inside is often rattled and shaken by what goes on outside.
