(In) The Way of Love



Across dale 
Over endless hills
Innate tracking instincts
Following
The vaguely present
Talisman 
Of the beast
Wounded
and 
On the run
A bent 
and broken 
Branch
Chosen pathways
A wash
With patchwork
Crimson 
The trail 
Neither immediately apparent
But not entirely
Illusive
The pursuit
Spans decades
Leads
To a profound discovery
Self-inflicted
Wounds
Hemorrhaging life-force energy
A purgatory
Engineered with
Commandeered creativity 
Reveals 
Fabrication
Of self-loathing 
Generated
Illusory
Abysmal isolation
And smothering
Disconnection
In the dank
Confines
Of an inhuman
Solitary
Lies a feral
Boy
Hissing and spitting
Rage
Aimed 
At a 
Timeless exile

Platitudes 
And sanctimonious posturing
Cannot hope
To bridge 
The now conscious 
Cavernous divide
A life
Destined for
Seeking to know
&
Express the
Love of God
Will find
No greater test
Nor depth
Of knowing
Than to 
Present
The return to love
To a heart
That 
Had be deceived
To believe
It lies there
Near mortally 
Wounded 
By Love itself

  1. The DNS (Dark Night of the Soul or rather said the dark night of the heart as the soul is never dark it is the heart that appears to darken whence we forget the Love we are) and emerging Into the Light to find Love always has been there and always will be there. To heal those wounds of our Inner Soul Child to come into Love itself again. Love itself never nearly mortally wounds, it is our perceptions, expectations, and thoughts about what we think Love is that wounds. Love simply is....Love. And once we know that, our Inner Soul Child, he....she....is healed once more into Love. Beautifully shared of your path and I honour you for such dearest Rob ~Lady Nenari, Princess of the Sea xxxx
