Broke my heart

Far too many times this life

Broke my heart

Shattered pieces that lay scattered

Seemed impossible to reassemble

And with the falling away from who I really was

So deep inside

Life dealt me the deepest wound

That bleed silently

Lately I see more and more

How all of the trying

Was a lie

All of the missing time with the beat

Of that foreign rhythm

Pulled me deeper and deeper into depression

Kept me away from embracing the beauty

Of who I really was

But lately these days

When I allow the heart break

Full rite of passage

Then deep within the fissures that split open

I come upon a bouquet

Of fluttering butterflies

Too long kept prisoner

Restless for light

And as I feel them move

As my old container shatters

Beams of golden light fly out

Steaming seams of inner joy

That slowly rise

As the deep ancestral pools of my tears

Begin to thaw and dry

Liberating my authentic life
