It's Been A Long Time Now....
It's been a long time now,
Since I've spoken to me.
I hear everyone's troubles,
How can this be.
I forgot how I knew Me,
When I was alone.
Too wrapped up in others,
Forgot my way home....
I've been hustling and busling and rushing around,
Forgot how to find me,
My feet were not ground.
So called neighbor's and friends,
Want to sing all day long,
My throat is too hoarse now,
For singing thier song....
I caught myself in,
The mirror to day,
I met me again,
Coming back the same way.
I forgot what a friend I could be to myself,
I'm putting my feet up,
My phone on the shelf....
I just want my space and the old me, back.
I've missed her so much,
Forgotten the craic.
It's hard to remember the way that we were,
This time I shall hold her,
And cradle with care....
So when your rushing around,
And you glimpse in your mirror,
Say Hi!,
To your self,
See the smile you deliver,
It comes right back at you,
So cradle with care,
The you,,,
You've forgotten,
Just hug yourself there....
There's only you....

This is lovely Liza,
what you describe here, and in your write as a whole, reminds me of what it's like to walk a labyrinth. Such a wonderful experience of reconnecting with self, with spirit.
Nicely done
