Rivers of pain

Rivers of pain and fear and shame

Running like a cascade

Through out my system

You say it is wisdom to stay

Focused on the place of peace

To find relief

But sometimes the demons of loss

Just come calling

Singing over and over of how

Unsafe life is

And how much loving costs

Carried down so deep by the wave

Of this tumult

I struggle to find the love

And when I lose the focus on the truth

Deep within my own heart

Of wholeness

Then I project the fear and judgement

Outwardly

And it returns

Tenfold

So it is I am alone again

Within this cascade

And the only way through is

To recognise it

How I wish

The way to love

Was not so hard to find

So blocked by fear

Sometimes
