The searching heart, enclosed within landscapes
of experienced hurt-proof
insight,
finds a deep-down knowing which is self-lit.
It reveals what is led toward love is equally fit
and in condition for field-trips into
the unknown,
as it gets caught under the skin of fulfillment.
Flights of the soul reach skyward to enclose
foreverness, and they know on
finding
that as many as touch love will be made whole.
'Hurt-proof insight' .... wow! For me that speaks not just of the current protected status but of the inevitable preceding time where the hurt-proofing wasn't in place and therefore hurt could strike your vulnerability. I've often wondered whether becoming hurt-proof shuts one off from certain experiences where to actually experience them you have to let your guard down and risk being hurt in order to see the beauty. Don't know why, but feels like you left that rock there in the rock-pool for me to lift and see what might be hiding there. That's a clever bit of writing that can do this, Fay - a skill, deftness of touch and subtlety that is all too rare.... Impressive. Tony
