Beyond words is a place of deepest darkest pain
Where every nerve ending in your body burns
With the agony of traumas you have lived and witnessed
The terribleness of which you could not express in words
Here in this silent space
Where you feel the impact
Of a thousand darknesses of experience descending
Wave upon wave of memory besieges you
As finally you witness the awesome trajectory of your life
Down buried so deeply down inside
Are agonies and torments of which it is best not to speak
Since speaking only reminds you of such pain
Pain without witness
Pain of a past life you long so much to let go
Pain that comes to life again
When really it is all past
Here in the vast open instant of this present moment
There is a place of peace
So free from pain
You so long live
Simplicity in a shared moment of connection
Present in the now
You touch the awesome mystery of Being
When free from thinking
Running over and over agonies in thought long spent
Death to the power of the past
Lies in the presence of being now
So far from ghosts that pull on you with memories
Potentials not grasped
Opportunities not lived
Litanies of pain
Let these rest now darling
Alive in the now memories come to life with thought
Creating pain
But you can embrace this pain and all these memor
Tenderly gently
As a loving mother to a child
Saying ah now my sweet what is past is past
And its pain was real
Giving love to your hurting places
For is it not Love that is the final answer?
Whose miraculous intervention means
Pain will not have the final word
