Sadness Waning

Sometimes the sadness still strikes

In smaller bursts

They still hurt

But they don't overwhelm for long

I take the time to feel

To heal what comes up

And I can finally let things go

Releasing the trauma from my mind

Releasing the trauma from my heart

And releasing the trauma from my body

It is work

But the sadness isn't so dark anymore

Let your veins feed you

Make you strong

Let them nurture all of your sadness

Every place there is pain

Slowly healing

Returning to strength

Till you course with power

At each beat of your heart

May our spirits be refreshed

With the morning dew

And may we seem our truth

Each day anew

Do not speak to me of love

As if I had any understanding

Of what it’s like to receive

What I have so freely given

But I will try

And fail

And try again

Because I feel you

And I know that you are true

So you will love me

And I will understand in time
