I am love!

This loneliness in my heart never goes away

Unless I feel that I belong

And take steps to reach out and sing my song

Connecting to the hearts of others

Its what my soul most longs for

But life at times feels so uncertain

As I hide behind the curtain

Witnessing the choices

That took me so far away from love

Into an inner place of torment

Fed on mistaken illusions

(I see that now)

I am not entirely sure

What to make of my journey any more

At times

I just feel so lost

You seemed to offer me a centre

But it was all fed on illusions

Sadness longing and deep confusion

And so my dear I have to wake

For pity’s sake

After all of this latest heartbreak

To live again

For too long I retreated into shadows and silence

A dark and painful place

Where I licked my wounds

And forgot the sweet relief

That comes from self forgetting

And carefree unselfconscious living

And yet there were those times too

When such love flooded my view

Erasing pain that lingered from before

Making me see it was not personal at all

Just a dream born of my own illusion of separation

From the deepest truth

I am connected

I am alive

And I am love
