shedding feeling

here we stand you and I

God knows what it took to keep us alive

when the cold dark winter of loneliness surrounded us

waves and waves of pain

that we could not really even feel

touching the surface of our skin

some say that we sinned

but we were the lost ones

who did not know the ways of the world

did not really have a clue

about it all

now that life is re arranged

these puzzle pieces become more like a game

that a hurting place of terrible soul fracture

there is a growing sense

that it may be possible to seek some joy and fun

at the end of a long road

that led us to a field

where we can see so much we love

butterflies dancing

unicorns prancing

rainbows and moon beams

and clowns with painted faces

no longer as full of angst

splitting apart at the seams

with laughter

shattering the old pain into splinters

that release in waves and waves and waves

of shedding feeling

become wild majestic springs of meaning

we bound along

on this tangled path that carries our wounded soul

home

to love
