Blew Out

Posted on by

I have lost count the times I blew out my own candle,

to hide in the dark, to keep myself unseen.

But I did not know there were such lovely souls,

the seekers,

who found people like me

And let us be without criticizing.

Kindly,

Lovingly,

Softly they lit the way out,

Not a light to blinding nor a noise to frightening,

Allowing us time and space to

Re-emerge at our own pace,

In our own time.

I am ever grateful.

Sometimes

I believe i am well

Then i get this twisted gut

And this crooked eye

And they both dig into me deep

Dredging and pulling

Till they find something to ridicule

Laughing

And pointing

Mocking

And they dance with joy

As i swing and miss

Then retreat

Down

Down

Under reality

Into the depths of my mind

Where there is shelter

And silence

But

Not oxygen.

Perpetual space.

mind

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

For You

Posted on by

I won’t ask about your

Father

For I know he is deceased.

I will not ask about your

Mother,

I know she shattered you to pieces.

I will,

However,

Offer you a safe space

To lay it all down.

A space to heal.

A place where you can feel the

Sanctity of your soul.

Where it will remind you

That you are whole.

I offer you love and kindness.

A quiet time to recover your heart and

Mind.

And there you can mend without

Question.
