I Am Spacious and Unsettled

I am spacious and unsettled
I wonder what that means
I hear nothing calling out to me
I see life happening all around me
I want to engage in something just to feel settled and have a place

I am spacious and unsettled
I pretend to be okay with that
I feel fear pulling me from the unknown back to what I know
I touch both worlds, known and unknown
I worry I will split in two or worse yet have to choose
I cry out beyond the precipice and realize I am in uncharted territory

I am spacious and unsettled
I understand things will shift and change if I just let them be
I say to myself, just "stay," just "be"
I dream about new and foreign worlds in a familiar land
I try to just observe myself
I hope nothing else will be required
I am spacious and unsettled
