When I think of you I ache
A soft boy
In a hard man’s world
Trained to be a solider
Through lack of love
And aching to love
Knowing deep in your soul how to
This is why I love you
This is why I don’t give up
On us
And even now I know you must be also a part of me
Because when your spirit moves close to me
I feel it deep down in my soul
I know the world is hard
It has turned deaf to our pleas
And maybe it is the dark Goddess who is
Overseeing all of this
If I can not stop you from facing combat and war
Where inside myself can the war with my self end
I can only love now
Even as I hate the forces of callousness
That turn a deaf ear
The Baba Yaga asks us
Are you here
By free will
Or by compulsion?
I only know that some wounds
And longings and hungers
Have roots so deep
That we must let them
Tear upon us
Until time and wisdom and circumstance
Leads each of us
Towards our own
Resolution
Emerging From The Dark Night
