Welcome
Held within
A love so replete
To satiate
All want and hunger
Infinitely expandable
Equally available
For all living beings
Before you enter
Fair notice
Through the myriad
Of labyrinthine corridors
Resides
In effigy
Those imprints
Impressed over
A life well lived
Make no mistake
There is no claim
Of purity
or
The hollow echo
Of a brittle morality
The walls and paths
Themselves
A weave
Of unrequited love
Mine and "Theirs"
Betrayal and Deceit
In the form
Of victim and perpetrator
Abandonment
The angels themselves
Unsure
Was I ever, to show up?
Neglect and abuse
Well yes
That was me too...
Vast stores of Shame
Once convinced
I took up too much space
And good air
I've no intention
To deceive you
For this is my heart
All it's residents
Are blanketed
In the warm embrace
Of Love and Forgiveness
They have been
Held and caressed
Chiseled and polished
Yielding now
The deepest compassion
Vast pools of empathy
Bathed in Humility
And awash in gratitude
Here you will find
No judgment
Free admission
Shoes off at the door
No minimum stay
The love that welcomed
Will remain after you've gone
You need not bring
Your love or approval
It is amply supplied
You can ensure then
That your own
Supply be maintained
A lifetime in the making
A hallowed chamber
My own state of reverence
Assured
Guest's are responsible
For their own
Welcome
Your choice to enter
Can now
Be a free choice
Enveloped in transparency
