Stuck in a pit of raw need
Not getting what I want
Hurts
And I need to tend this hurt
But I cannot stay stuck here
In this deeply painful place
Hurting over and over and over again
There is an emptiness at the base of this
And in touching it with acceptance
Resistance fades
This shows me where
In fighting reality
I am making things harder
Can I surrender deeply?
Can I let go and let God?
This is the only thing
That will bring release
God these wounds you gave
Open my heart wider
To the reality of love’s absence
That in hurting makes me realise
Love’s ultimate value
Let that love now
Be the love
I bestow upon myself
Upon others
And upon circumstance
