Wounded Healers

burn through the pain

burn through the confusion

burn through the fear

burn with holy cleansing fire


and emerge reborn

conscious but not thinking

neither reflecting nor projecting

here now in this moment


open your heart and let feeling flow

the joy lives where the pain lives

two sides of the same coin

let them flow


face to face

flow with me

here and now

transcend this wretched beauty


two trees

lashed by the storm

bent and thrashed

straighten slowly in the morning sun


ready for spring
