In the layers of loss
You slowly begin to bear witness to
a plethora of
Emotional
Wounds–
Envy, a wishing you had what others now
have, or have always had,
An aching disappointment and
Yearning,
A burning taste of hurt tinged
with anger,
A deep hole
of grieflove,
Scattered dead leaves of bright colored
Bittersweet sorrows.
Feeling, flowing this
Rich mixture of
Emotional pulses of
Anticipated, shocking loss,
Losses no one dares discuss
Openly for fear of being pitied
or triggering terror in others
Who have not ever experienced
the shattering loss from multiple deaths,
a conscious release of thousands of loved things,
a life you thought you’d live till you parted this earth,
a home, a place that fed your being, your soul.
Choosing to strip yourself down to
the naked vulnerable spaces of
What’s truly essential for a
Human life-
Unshakeable courage,
Unwavering, gentle compassion,
Audacious actions to liberate
Yourself from
Death grips of
Anxious attachments to
People,
Possessions–
Meaningless
in the face of fires, floods, earthquakes,
A tsunami of
Mother Earth’s truths,
Bound tightly to the
Impermanence
Of human life.
A rebirth simultaneously, subtly
Happens. A
Reconnection to
An eternal ever present,
Ever silent witnessing,
Loving Soul awakening,
Once again,
to the dark, rainy-day light
of this fresh morning.
You discern what’s worthy
Of your life energy.
