Rain

I wish only to walk in the rain.

As life thunders around me

imperfection after imperfection

(often mine)

I wish for peace.

And I wish to walk in the rain.

Coming back

I must come back.

Back home, once again

to the depths.

To find a home in the world

and beneath it,

in the deep,

where I belong,

and do not belong.

I must find home

in both the deep

and the shallows

for good.

I must learn to live

and breathe

with

and without

fear.

My Heart

My heart has been closed, and so I have been away from this place.

I’ve been well aware of my differences in the world, well aware of the sorrow within the walls of lace and sun that I call ‘me’.

My truth will always be a sweet and soft sorrow. It’s really quite lovely; please don’t feel sad for it.

And yet, it is lonely, and home only to me.

I wonder what lives within the hearts of the others.

Open

I am here,

darling heart.

And I allow you

to open

to the natural unfolding

of life.

Beautiful

But isn’t it entirely beautiful

to be you.

Divine

I will always be

the divine love

that is

us.

As You Are

There is no need to be fearful

of the ‘not enough’.

Of the

too different to fit in,

to be chosen.

You are who you are,

and you will rise as you will rise.

Take care

and wander with head held high.

As you are.

To become

you

again

and again.

Someone, Somewhere

Beneath the surface,

gripped by the ripples

of life gone by.

It is a sad softness, and there are cold

lashes of fear, set into the marrow

of my bones.

Take this tender heart, I whisper.

To someone.

Somewhere.

A Little While

There is silence

where the gaps are.

Weeping holes

in a persons soul, for life,

or just,

perhaps,

for a little while.

In The Gentle Woods

It is the depths that call me here.

It is the silence

and the bells

of yesterdays wish.

Let there be now.

Let there be this walk alone

in the gentle woods.
