Integrating the Darkness

Navigating feelings, energies, and frequencies

many we let go of, surrender, or avoid.

Hold space and fall back on memories

of survival, of when we had no choice.

Despite struggling to hold onto our voice,

we persevere, hold on, overcome

when the odds are 100 to one,

and destiny feels like an unloaded gun.

I didn't know how I'd survive, get by

let alone thrive, was sure I'd die,

yet, here I stand with a survival rate of 100%.

Perhaps my sanity can't say the same,

but my honor and empathy can.

Pain has a way of splitting you open,

rigid mind structures and patterns become broken.

Cracking through to raw nerve endings,

finding joy as rain splatters, and wounds are mending.

The chaos of a hurricane can spring new life,

spontaneity, and adventure, peace after strife.

A world of duality filled with great changes,

without darkness, no light, everything rearranges.

Stay grounded through your own personal narrative,

Earth's chaos and pain need your healing - it's imperative.
