Can receive
A lot of attention.
Warned -
Not to touch the fire -
Does not necessarily mean
One does not touch it.
The under belly of our souls
Can scrape very close
To rasors' edge -
On a downward fall of
Everyday life -
Everyday routine -
Everyday habits.
The 'Pearl'
Inside the oyster,
Hides itself
Within the membranes
Of it's kind.
Protected by hard shell -
Clammed shut -
Ocean deep.
The 'Pearl'
Within ourselves,
Sits stirring
Unraveling -
Inside the framework
Of lessons learned
Or not -
And holds the promise
Of' 'Becoming' -
Free
From pain -
It thinks
As real.
We seem to keep giving
Back to life -
The very thing
We wish to release.
Our patterns of self destruction
Are circular -
And spin faster and faster.
At some point
The oyster cracks open
And reveals its 'Pearl'.
At some point
We too -
Must crack open
And reveal our 'Pearl'.
Our Soul
Demands this.
The painful side of life
Can receive
A lot of attention.
The painful side of life
Is really -
Not " REAL."
In Heart ........
