I am mindful
Of these scars on your heart
Sometimes they seem to
Keep us apart
Which is the way it so often goes
When we were bruised
Not everyone can bear
Fragility
Not everyone has the courage
To look into
The heart of darkness
And be aware
Of the dying need for love
That once lived there
And for some hearts
We can only care
At a great distance
And only as far as we have
Straddled our own divides
But still there comes a time
When the longing for love and to be alive
Tempts us to risk this
Embracing the scarred
Loving the pain
Deepening in to the hearts ability
To endure
And live inside
Paradox
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Sometimes, our brains tell us to stay away, but our hearts refused, and, we let our hearts lead the way, and end up getting hurt, but, love IS, a huge gamble, and what you will gain, is going to be, way more that what you will lose, although, losing feels like dying…

so so true.. “although, losing feelings like dying” what can we really lose that is a deep question? ❤

It’s taking a long time but I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to follow my heart rather than head. The head is just filled with fears and roadblocks.
