The lie of separation

With everything in me I loved you

Sensing your pain o

Of course my tender heart

Wanted to take it away

Deep inside

I am still that child

Who sometimes forgets

The limits of my power

I see and hear the toxic inner critic hurting you

It tells you over and over how far you fall short

Of human perfection

But aren’t we all flawed in some way

Do not our bodies

And fragile hearts break

At times under the weight of all of this

Unlovingness?

And are we not all on a very long

And very complex journey of evolution?

We have yet to glimpse the all encompassing love

Of mother God

We are yet to do away with the schism

That cuts us off

And splits us apart

From the pure knowing

Of our truest essence

We fall here it seems into all forms of separation

And when our hearts catch fire

Then the painful burning must be endured

That can often feel too too much

A storm our body and soul

Struggles to bear

And yet, we need to weather it

For we are yet to know that kind of love

The one that in its truth

Violence, force and power

Obliterates all of the untruths we were fed

When we fell into

The lie of separation
