Losing the path to love

We lose the path to love

And have problems truly living

True to ourselves

When we are not fully accepted

Welcomed

Responded to

Granted a right to exist

By killing forces

Then we just internalise

Murderous voices

And the ability to make healthy choices

Goes haywire

And so it is we come to find ourselves

Living inside a storm

Surrounded by high seas

Without an adequate vessel

To stay afloat

This is when we seek the moon

Because it reflects at least a portion

Of the stolen solar light

Carl Jung said

If the path you are on is clear

It is someone else’s path

And deep inside our being

Each tortured step feels wrong

Listen closely for a song

A poem

A dream

A hurting

To find

Your soul’s intuitive insight

Trust a tiny glimmer of light

Because deep in your soul

That longing for love

No longer denied or resisted

Will lead you home

As long as you do not ransom your soul

To be connected to those who

Can never truly see

Behold

Cherish

Or love you 💖
