Remember.

Remember this when you feel adrift.
There is a reason why you have to be still.
A reason you are for that moment 
 empty and not filled.
There is a reason you curl inward and not out.
A reason you have to take you time
to think and think without reason or rhyme.
A reason you hibernate.
When you sleep so long
So deep.
Remember this when you cannot think.
When your mind is consumed by nothing.
When all you can do is sit
stand
walk look
back and then ahead.
Remember this when you cannot create
all that  in your mind so great.
When all you can do is look
at everyone who looks like
they have left you on the side
lines.
Remember this when you wonder about faith
and find it missing
from your plate.
When the weight of  waste
matter
 blocks your path
and you wait for a rebirth
of sorts.
When you want to blurt
the truth.
But your voice has gone
to the voice farm
never to be reclaimed 
for a while.
For a while you did not count
something of yourself
until you were called to mount
that mountain.

Remember there is a time for everything:

 (A time to be born, And a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace). (Ecclesiastes 3:2-8, NKJV) 

Remember 
every goodbye means hello.
All your tears will
disappear in the blinding sun.
