As the wound continues - then so does the healing . . .
Healing Love's Wound
Lifting the scab sharply,
I walk out of the room.
The wound is open again -
A gaping hole for everyone.
It's not just mine I know,
But someone had to prize the lid.
Festering away beneath the cover -
All sorts of unmentionables.
Now we all begin to dig -
Firstly at each other.
"You hurt me - I hate you!"
"I don't want to see you."
"Leave me to my soothing tongue -
Keep away from me!"
Fearful of deep cleansing;
(Already it smarts too much;)
Afraid to examine the details,
In case they should prove fatal.
"How long, oh God", we pray,
"Before we feel Your healing touch?
"How can the world be this bad?
And why does my brother keep hurting me?"
"Children - just keep digging."
A softer voice is heard.
"The pearl you seek lies hidden
In the festering layers of puss;
And each of you shall find it,
When you're ready to serve one another"
.
Its as well you can share your creativity through your deep distress - without that it is as nothing ... you who seeks to serve without denying self-respect - the hardest path to love - being true to yourself <3
For the fact that we are not hermits but live and interact with people,friction is inevitable and wounds must be inflicted either way,on us and on our neighbours, but healing comes through forgiveness for what we give is what we shall receive.Thanks for sharing.
Reminds me of the last fight I had with my eldest brother - before he passed unexpectedly.
An amazing write Steve.As Fay says, the final two lines shows where the answer lies...Maggie
The answer is found in your final couplet - - and oh how it rings out its truth. Bookmarked this valuable though gory reminder.
Meanwhile healing, caring about others is a great painkiller. Take care
this is very deep, Steve..and i can read between the lines that there is an emotional entanglement..and healing must take place, the soonest.Be strong and take care of you...
A disturbing write Steve...I can only hope and pray that the wound heals again and that the scab falls off on its own...take care
wow. sad in its truth, at least most of the time. but it makes the other time so wow.
