When they used to speak to me
in words of love,
I responded in the language of fear:
mistrust,
unworthiness,
not good enough-ness,
fear of abandonment,
drowned the love
in doubt,
until the outcome I most feared
and anticipated
proved the hamster wheel of
love-fear-loss
was still turning.
Now,
I am the one
who speaks of love.
I am in love
with all of life --
with Everything --
and this kind of love
does not know fear,
does not need to be spoken.
It just Is.
inspired by the dVerse challenge to write a poem about love in other languages.
I didn't see this link in D'verse Sherry ~ Anyway, I wanted to say I like the twist in the end, to speak of love now with everything, and not in fear ~
ReplyDeleteYes, it just is. In all languages. Nice.
ReplyDeletei am glad of your learning...love is hard...esp if trust has been broken...and the outcomes we expect then do come to fruition only supporting our false assumptions...again, i am glad of your learning...
