Let me love

Let me love

Wounded heart

Like there is nothing to lose

And everything to gain

For wouldn’t it be a shame

If I missed this opportunity

For wholeheartedness

Amidst the awful mess

That I sometimes just fail to realise

Are mixed up painful feelings

I am left reeling at times

I come unstitched

And struggle hard to clean it up

Labelling ‘Mess”

That which is really only

Complex life

Not easily fitting into boxes

Or fully contained

Behind the limiting barricades

Of foreboding

But I am noticing when I take the risk to

Be and open my heart to life

That is when I am truly free

So wounded heart

Please listen to me

As I unlock the portal

To the ocean of loving

That is truly me
