My real self uniting with my broken parts
MERGING
From deep shadowy corners
the phantom of dysfunction swirled like black smoke
around my relationships and penetrated them one by one
beckoning me inward to submerged hurt
that highjacked my life time and time again
Tired of pretense and weary from fatigue
She finally got my attention
She reached out her hand to me
I took it
We became acquainted
We talked
We understood
We honored
We appreciated
And we cried – WOW! did we cry
She told me her intention was to protect my innocence
We created a peaceful calm
where my compassion-fueled heart overflowed
with gratitude for her gallant efforts to safeguard me
though she really didn’t know how
I relieved her of this burden
Covered her with my love
And became the nurturer she needed me to be
No, needed us to be
Hand-in-hand, we walked down this healing road of light
Where hidden clarity was stuck in the dark corners of fear
That were now bursting through to the sunlight of a resurrected life
To the power of
True merging
and
We are writing a new love song
across the new bright morning sky
