Let my heart feel the truth of this

Please I am begging you

Let my heart feel the true

Weight and breadth and depth

Of this

Do not try to shut me down

My friend

I do not wish to cause you harm

So please dos not try

To generate shame

By your fearful attempts to claim

That I should try

Just a little bit harder

To keep it together

When the truth is

That so often things are often designed

To fall apart

So please if it is time

For the shoe to drop

Maybe we could just allow

The event to pass through

For the heart in me

Is so often a wild ocean

Or a stormy sea

That longs for its waves

To roll free

Driven by the energy of wind

That powers my soul

In inspiration

And chaotic free imagining

And this my friend

Is the deepest

Truest

Essence of me

And the only way

To set me free

Is just

To let me breathe

Through the tears

Through the hunger

Through the longing

And the ecstasy

And finally

When the storm abates

Through the laughter

That with the rebirth of love

Holds the power to

Turn it all around

For to feel all of this

Is truly

No sign of madness

But a true expression of

The state of our soul

Transitioning

Through the tears

The loss

The pain

And the disaster
