Do not tell me not to give
To my fellow humans
When my heart is overflowing with love
So much need
But so much inner emptiness
Makes me sad
When did this world become
So cold
Mistrustful
Unfeeling?
What will it take to bring about
The needed change?
Why do we project a nightmare
And when did we lose our way to o
Our knowing of heaven?
As Thich says
I do not believe in a heaven free of suffering
As joy and suffering seem to exist
As the opposite sides of one coin
With one giving birth to the other
And so as I weep
I smile to my tears
Because as I embrace my dying
And every loss
I open my heart a little wider every day
To a rebirth
Of love
Emerging From The Dark Night
