the Sacred Dance

Your soul calls, listen!
  You are not alone, never!

Crying, sobbing, the pain
  as fresh as the first slash,
  blood, bright red, gushing.

Tears, hopelessness, fear.
  Alone, dark, no way out.
  Nightmare seething, here.

So many years, so much work,
  yet still, the horror grips me.
  And still, I have no answers.

'Surrender,' I hear.
  'Allow, feel, see...
  See into, beyond, through.'

'Let go the worn-out stories.
  Their truths deceive, distract.
  There is another truth, beneath.'

'Be quiet, breath deeply, surrender.
  It is time to lay bare the wound.
  Allow the healing, allow the love.'

'Remember all you have learned.
  Know that you are never alone.
  Believe your greater good is here.'

'It is precious, wrapped, waiting.
  All you need do is to surrender
  totally and allow. Then witness...'

'I AM the Sacred Dance.'
