This poem hit me like a freight train the other day as I was about to take a nap and I was shocked I hadn’t already written something about pain. I’ve been brewing an idea for a children’s book about it for awhile, and the other day when I was in a great deal of physical and emotional pain I was gifted this…
Pain
The searing
Jeering
Jolting
Revolting
Suffering
Of being
In a body that’s decaying
And expanding
Transforming
Deforming
Reconnecting
Rejecting
Living
Trapped in a cycle
Held together
By an invisible
Divisible
Sentient
Conscious
Reality defying
Logically bending
Transcending
Spirit
Ancient
Cosmic
Multidimensional
Unconventional
Infinite
Divine
Sublime
Undefined
Essence
Present
That
Sees
Hears
Knows
Feels
All of it
Pain is a signal
A warning
A trigger
To nudge
Or pull
Or pause
Us
To
Assess
Reassess
Rate
Investigate
Uncover
Alleviate
The cause
A symptom
A clue
Just for you
A roadmap
From your
Body
To
Your
Soul
Right
Here…
Needs
More
Love.
