we stay up all night.
when you're not here,
i can't go to sleep.
be patient where you sit in the dark,
the dawn is coming.
in the blackest of your moments,
wait with no fear.
i know you’re tired but come,
this is the way.
it’s your road and yours alone.
others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.
these pains you feel are messengers,
listen to them.
know that one day,
your pain will become your cure.
the cure for pain is in the pain.
the wound is the place where the light enters you.
blesses you.
darkness is your candle.
why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?
if all you can do is crawl,
start crawling.
you have within you more love than you could ever understand.
do not feel lonely,
the entire universe is inside you.
the beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.
amen.
p.s.
words are a pretext.
it is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.
