I'll Take My Time

 

I'll take

My time

I'll take

As much time

As the waves

Of my body

Dictate

I'll take my time to sense into the ocean that is my endlessly rippling thoughts

I'll take my time to fetch the words that articulate precisely how I feel

Before

Presenting them to you

I'll take my time to answer you

To comment

To respond

So please

Don't let this slowness fool you

It is not because I don't know

..Or don't know enough

It is because I know too much

And the moment doesn't always require nor allow for a

Flood of verbs and nouns and adjectives and concepts and wonderings and musings

To be

Let me

Take

My time

To hand pick

What can be best said

Right now

Take my time

To delve into

The bottom of my truth

Take my time

To feel

Safe

To speak

Take my time

To trust

Take my time

To stay

This

Committed

To my truth
