Fountain of love

Fountain of love

Poured out for thirsty ailing humanity

So lost in its own nightmare

Fallen asleep to the dream

Of flow and connecting

Arming itself in all kinds of ways

That seem like protection

But if we are strong enough to take

The wounding arrow into our heart

Then the piercing will remind us

Of what hurt requires of us

If we lose our way back

To that tender place

And steely barricades

Are set up

Vigilant sentries guarding each pass

What shall flow in

Of love’s healing fountain

And what will be born

Of the deeply stagnant pond

Left to fester

All avenues of release blocked

No river flow

No cry

And the weary soul just aches

Its pain beseeching oh so silently

In a thousand body pains and aches

WHY????
