I reached out to you
From the inner depths
You argued semantics with me
All I needed was an open mind
Possibly a hand to hold
But the place you come from was lonely
Filled with emptiness
Possibly this is why you tell me it’s a just a story
We tell ourselves
Yes the heart aches are past
So why do I keep dragging then into today?
How can I find a way
Beyond this darkness?
I know why you reject my truth
Despise my vision
Maybe its all on me
Because perhaps this earthly life
Is not meant to be other than it is
But lately it seems we are all running so fast
Caught up in the daily grind
Of trying to survive
In a mixed up world our trauma and disconnection created
With little time to slow down
And turn to each other
Rembering to offer
Tenderness
Compassion
Time and love
Sometimes lately the tears I cry are deep
Because I see how I turned away
Always seeking distance
When really the need to be close
Meant the very most
To my aching heart
Emerging From The Dark Night
