When I break you, I do not do so readily.
It is necessary
To feel this pain
To be opened in such a way
Through jolting sorrow
You are opened
Seams torn apart
Light seeping more easily through
To know what you search for.
You recognise the Truth
Of Beauty
The essence of Love
It has caressed you
And changed you forever.
Do not fear the wisdom that Anguish brings
Though she may break you
And make use of your fears
She is great.
A bitter mistress
Unleashing your restraints
To perceive greater lessons
She visits only the brave.
Greatness will check you
Unleash true emotion
Honour this.
She chose you.
Remember
That even in despair,
You may see through the eyes of love
Beauty
A thing to be cherished
As evidence of divine humanity
And the greatness Being
Remember.
Let not my departure be a thing of ugliness.
I leave you, abounding with affection
I leave you beautiful
And more delicate than when I found you.
This is the sweet reward of Anguish
The simple, profound expression of Love
Which knows no boundaries
And changes you forever.
This is her gift.
Honour her
The sweet blessings she brings
Awareness, only Love obtains
Humility, only Loss attains
Wisdom, remaining with you forever.
This is your gift
Remember.
Do not fight.
Your heart comes unbroken easily
Cast away quickly,
By the shadows of the night.
Just remember
That when you gaze back
To do so gently
A heart overflowing
With whispers of surrender.
