Meeting The Shadow

Remember when

you dressed my wounds

and told me then

you would always love

our times together

but that was never

what it seemed

as you were always

leaving.

And returning

but not really here.

You were bleeding

all over the place

and never facing

what was true,

never being the real you.

Sometimes you still call in

to see

what is going on with me.

Here today is my plea.

Hear me.

Stay a while

and listen

to my heart beat

come in closer

and really meet

Trust

Honesty

Tolerance

Gentleness

What Joy that would be

Defenselessness for me to see,

Generosity to give away

all you value here

and Patience now and for all time,

Faithfulness and an open mind.

If every word was ever heard

Love would sing

and light would bring

a truly wondrous way to be

living with simplicity.

Dear Friends,

I have been transforming trauma and deeply healing Self, 

particularly in past 7 years.

And along the way 

I came to understand what 'comes intuitively',

also 'arrives' to meet the shadow.

I wrote this verse on June 4, 2019,

and I thought, at the time, that it was a Revelation.

It is indeed, a very deep truth speaking to me.

 

Here is my voice memo, a brief 1.17 minutes of My Reading this verse.

Love and Peace, Bee xo
