I
Sat in the jungle
And disolved into the stillness.
Jaguar approached me
And pierced my skin.
As blood fell to the jungle floor
She said,
“This is the blood of everyone.
The anguish of your mothers
And fathers
Has already been shed.
You are anew.
You choose to carry pain from the past
Because you believe
You are supposed to.
Release it.
It is not yours to carry.
Your ancestors
And all of the universe
Wish for you to
Let it go.”
As long as you hold on to
Anger
You
Are shackled to
The
Past.
Forgiveness gives you life
In the
Present
And freedom
To move into
The
Future.
Allow room for nothing else
But
Love to
Become
All that you
Carry.
You let your worries
And heartache
Carry you away
Into the storm.
I turned and you were gone.
Lost to my reach,
Caught up
In debris
From the past.
Moving too fast
For me
To grasp you.
Where you finally stopped
I don’t know.
I can only hope one day
You will feel whole.
I can only hope your soul
Will remember
Who you were before.
One day.
