Lynch pin

As a child you were golden

Burning with a fire no one could put out

You came into a world grown dead and cold

It was an icy kingdom

Only years later revealed to you in a dream

Where frost had come down

Casting everything into winter

It was not only souls

But bodies that froze

Or came undone

By running too long

On past pain

A fight for survival

And it is so sad my darling

That for so many years

You blamed yourself

For not being able to heal or fix what was broken

And so as everything shattered

You did your best

To find the way back home

But it was a journey of pain

And you could not help but feel the suffering at its heart

And so you did all you could to be there I see it now

And I want you to know

After all of these years I finally recognise the beauty in you

The flame of truth and goodness

That no devastation could truly extinguish

And if it was your body that suffered

As you struggled this way and that

To unravel the knots of ages past

Then it was also the body that needed to burn and break apart

In order that it could contain the charge of life energy trapped within

Through years of trauma

 

Today in the clear spring air

You feel the promise of new life returning

After years of winter

And as you walk Jasper to an open field

The realisation dawns

That you are once again finding your way back to the Grail Kingdom

And you start to shed tears

As you feel the love of the ancestors surrounding you

Reminding you that nothing you suffered

Was ever truly in vain

And you soul feels their presence and comfort

As benediction

As they promise you

That new life will come again

Understanding wisdom forgiveness and comfort

Birthed through joy and pain
