The Long Walk

When I walk in fear my heart saddens
for all he unspoken words of love,
all the uncried tears of grief
that poison me inside,
all the longings never fulfilled,
all the judgements made so carelessly
and most of all-
the love that could have been.

When I walk further past this
through the thick of it
and come out on the other side of me,
I feel love,
feel all the love that can be fulfilled
and superfluous
seem all the longings and expectations
I held so dear,
the truth is in love
…accepting the fear
for the lessons it gives
and giving true love to those I hurt
- even from a distance,
because love knows no distance
if it is truly spoken in my heart…
as souls resonate from the middle -
the secret vibration of life
keeps on teaching,
teaching me to Love…
