Like an egg in a shell
My heart has been sealed away
It’s so much safer in there
But when its time to grow the egg must be cracked
There is a time for everything
For some the time never comes
It takes great courage to look deep inside
It’s so much easier to avoid
To drink from the waters that blind
Soothing is what we seek
Joy and peace and gratitude
These aren’t gifts, they must be earned
By letting go
By seeing the real full bodied truth
We don’t usually know what that looks like
It’s so much easier to pretend
To hyper focus on something
Point all our feelings there
We must get out the anger fear and pain
We can’t make it worse by seeing
From someone else’s point of view
It’s too important to feel we are in control
Everything will fall apart if we open our hearts
What if we get hurt
Can’t take another blow
So we walk around in armored jackets
They help us not to feel
It’s so easy to be brave when you deny
All the losses and regrets
It’s just too sad to face
Until you see someone who gave it all
They sacrificed their own life for another
The other never understood the cost
The price was all or nothing
What a love so deep and so wide
So all consuming
A calling to give another safe passage
From the beginning till the bitter sweet end
Who will comfort you
When you gave up all for one
The others were left behind
But they are here now
To walk and not to run
To sit with you inside your hell
And be the light in the darkness
For it is your turn to feel the love
Your turn to be guided and protected
The world it whizzes by outside
No passerby can see you
But you are not alone
Something greater than yourself
Will now pick you up as you carry your load
And both of you will find
We’ve been here all the time
