Heaven’s Door
Pain is an indulgence
Where the willow grows
I lay the hat of my grief
And it overflows
From bough
To root
I will no longer
Stoop
To play this game
Revelling in
Some shame
That is not mine to hold
So let’s be bold
And break this mould
A new direction
Streaks by my eye
For there is another story
To be told
There are all kinds
Of things to tempt you
From your core
Some are temptations of gold
Some are temptations of sorrow
And some will reveal themselves
As numbness
To blunt the distress
Of pain and loneliness
Those windowless panes
Of forgetfulness
Can frame emotions
With such pretty distractions
So we forget the mess
Or could it all
Just be a test?
For now I sit
And breathe
To calm the
Restlessness
And find I’m
Ready to
Receive
The path
That’s for my best
This hill
I have been climbing
Is showing me its crest
I’ve bested other mountains
But I must now
Stop
And rest
It never was a climb
It never was a test
No need to go on
Striving
Pushing
Struggling
And deep-diving
With my patience
Wearing thin
I sat down
And went
Within
And then I was
Let in
