For those who
See the fear that paralyzes those
Traumatized
Mentally, physically and emotionally;
The ones who hear them;
Those that have no words left to express the fear, the doubt, the shame, the hopelessness;
You who take time to
Offer love, patience and stillness,
There is so much gratitude intangible;
You are not forgotten.
Because of your tender acts of kindness
Many have chosen to see another day.
Love.
I step mindfully on the rivers edge
As to not stumble and fall.
The water is very patient in this, its journey,
To shape the earth whether a drop or
A cascade.
I must stop and steady myself if I wish to lift my gaze to the heavens.
I hear a thousand voices in the winds.
Even the eagles above and the river
Below join in the chorus of our ancestors;
It is always love.
You will move blindly.
You will move slowly,
Lightly
To meet them.
Following with new senses;
Intuition sparking,
Illuminating the way.
Trust;
It takes much time and patience
For the wounded to
Open into love.
You did not create beautiful things in me;
After burning what is left to ash
I am transforming what has become of me
Through visions born of trauma.
Beauty and strength.
Experience and forgiveness,
Patience and love.
Rebirth and
Recreation.
Trauma
Hides in your body
unknowingly swallowed
And it finds some cozy,
Safe place to hide
A muscle or tendon
And you
Think you have gotten
Under
Or over
It,
But
You neglected the hardest part,
Going through the depths of yourself to purge it.
Find it there
Gather it up and hold it there
In love
In patience.
The tension has been there long
Allow it to be.
These parts of you long for love.
Set yourself free and gaze into yourself
Allowing your love to soften and release
Into the stillness,
One at a time,
Each piece that has planted itself in you out of fear.
And honor your path to healing
For it is yours alone.
I sense your vibration
Before our eyes meet.
I have felt your approach
Countless lifetimes
Prior
And will countless more.
And we cry with joy each reuniting,
A soul reconnecting.
Live fully in the in between,
In what feels like the endless
Waiting.
Patience, as love endures;
We endure.
There are stars born
We cannot yet see.
Patience,
My Love.
her mind was quite broken you see.
for so long the road to healing has been most tedious.
she has had to learn to allow herself grace
and tenderness unapologetically
she has had to learn she does not need to justify this to
anyone
for even she was unaware that those wounds were too painful to touch
that even her skin was deeply bruised
with heart and mind
and this takes time
giving herself space to grow new strength
unspoken
and nurturing her own roots
and spirit
which ultimately remain
unbroken
love and tenderness for oneself grow freely when welcomed
and cared for unconditionally
The light you cast
Has found things hidden in my
Darkness.
With utmost patience you coaxed them out
And to my surprise,
Met them
With grace.
I can feel your soul
Oh so close
ButI can’t quite touch you.
I can hear you breath
Oh so soft
I want to hold you.
So please tell me how you do it?
See through me like there is nothing to it.
Find my cracks and bring them light.
You are slowly bringing me back to life.
Soft words
Kind love
Like nothing I have
Felt before.
You give and give
And still have more.
I shrink away
But still you stay.
I come a little bit closer
Every day.
Ready to bolt at any
Minute.
You just smile and wait
Patiently
Knowing in time
You will see
All of me.
