There was a time when
the vast contrast between
what I knew to be true
in my heart
and what I observed in the world
around me was too painful to hold,
and I choose
to surrender my heart.
And then there came a time when
the pain of being separated
from my heart
and the very real effect of
a withering soul taken over
by darkness
gave rise to something surprising —
a renewed spirit that had no need
for any kind of attachment
to deception —
a whole spirit unafraid to face,
hold or let go of whatever appeared —
whatever was required.
