I feel you

I feel your sadness in the words unspoken

I let the sadness into my heart

I wonder how to heal this sense of separation

That at times kept us so very far apart

It seems that hurting is the hardest thing

That trauma brings

God know how much our current world

Needs soothing

Tonight my body is tired

From far too little sleep

But soon I will draw comfort from a soft bed

And the darkness of the night

I miss you most at these times

I wonder when we will get to meet

At times the wilderness extends before me

With little sign of repreive

As I long for an oasis in the desert

This is when I need to be extra tender

To myself

And hold it all in love

So many hide their pain

And there is not shame at all in saying

Today I really struggled
