This is Your Time to Think - Tristan Pringle

I promise

I won't interrupt

As the storm rages on

Winter winds blow

As we go to the far-flung hemispheres of your mind

This is a voyage

A journey inward

Though the waterfalls of thought cascade one upon the

other

And we flick between them like we used to find a TV

station

And when the flood of tears

Or surge of heat to your cheeks

Or the stone-cold stunness

Of a realisation, or nostalgia, or a new thought.

Come

Still, you can go on

And when you think all is said

A gentle offering

“What more do you think, or feel, or want to say?”

A rumbling forward march of all that lay hidden

Behind masks and make beliefs

And things you were told.

You unravel

In a beautiful moment

Of sheer brutal honest aliveness

You are seen

You are heard

You are held

This is your time to think.
