the pain cut deep

I’d done it again hurt

one of the few closest to me

forever people

just by speaking

incorrectly

we come out on the other side holding hands

richer for the walk together

not broken left along the side of the road

yet the inbetween that came before we reached out again

one to the other

was a most desperate debilitating loss of days to the mystery of pain’s

call to become a more luminous soul

humans do not willingly walk into the light

I find this odd

you would think we’d desire what is most desired

yet more often than not the pain is too much to see through to the bright light of the dawn that it is

we turn away thinking we’ve been injured

when what it is is luminous clarity

the best life

ever
