I Sit With It
Waves of sadness
overcome with heavy memories
The weight of the world
I carry
And carry
Pain over washes me
to the point of cracking
But I don't
I emerge
Stronger
Healthier
Full of love, gratitude
and Hope
I sit with it
but it is not mine
to keep
Not who I am
It is you
and your box full of darkness -
I hand back to you
For I never wanted
Never needed
Never deserved
Your Pain
My GIFT is to see the heartache
as Surviving
A way to make love and peace
a part of my world.
So today - I remind you
I am strong
I am blessed
I am safe
I am wrapped in loving kindness
I emerge Thankful
for the darkness that allows
brilliant LIGHT
to be my guide.
The Wounded Healer
Breathing in - I am grateful
Breathing out - I offer myself - love
I am grateful
Pain and all
