Poem

The Heart of It

Let my heart open

Broaden

Deepen.

That it may hold

all

that needs to be held.

 

Let the thoughts that hurt me

Drop into my heart.

And be loved.

And be healed.

 

Let the hurts that surround me

Be held in the hope

Pulsing through the depths of my heart.

Let hope expand.

Pushing the walls of my heart wider.

Let me hold the suffering of the world

and…

be.

Feeling the pain that love brings.

 

And when my heart becomes heavy

and I am close to falling

Let the seed of Infinite Love,

buried in the crevices of my soul,

Awaken.

 

Let it grow

Until it cradles my heart

and I sink into its embrace.

Dissolving into the love

that has always held me.
