Healing Emptiness

Emptiness came again today

Seeping its way out from beneath

A covering of grey

As I awoke to this dream of life

When this aching pulls on me again

As the distance between longing and reality

Surprises me with its depth

And I find myself once again displaced

Within a world of strangers

This is when I struggle

And fear the danger

Of losing the way to my deeper self

And the truth is

That home is often not found for me

Within the hearts of others

But is something that only emerges

When I know myself to be

At one within my Self

For so often the world did not see me

And so how could I find my inner truth

Obscured within that reality

And how could I not feel empty

Lost within a world of strangers

But as in the dark

Those powerful life laden images rolled

Before my eyes

I found myself surprised

By so many different feelings

And it was then I knew that my reality

Belongs to me

And is only brought to life within my heart

For when I feel set so far apart

And negate my self

Then it is that I am truly lost

And then the price of life just seems

Too much to pay

So maybe the feeling of not belonging

Was not wrong

Only a warning sign

That all along

The way home

Could only ever be revealed

From connecting deeply with myself

And in this way

Healing emptiness
