A Little Less Broken

After a while

a gentler way through the winding

roads of this human journey

became a little clearer

as the pieces of my own

shattered heart began to appear

a little less broken

and a little more like unpolished

treasures entrusted to my care.

I was never without

connection with a deeper space

within the greater whole,

though it seemed

to dance around a bit

through different forms

and natural things —

reaching back again —

softly touching the tender,

hidden spaces I once tried

to resolve.

A Sacred Journey

After a little while,

I caught on that this

human experience was in fact

a sacred journey.

And so I began to take notes —

connecting the person

to a more expanded,

formless self —

comforting and guiding —

lighting my path

as it unfolded —

navigating through contrast —

following what felt most true —

listening and feeling my way

into my deepest heart.
