- Dialogue In Silence -

Own emotional wounds
                                Waiting for a seed to germinate
                                     Evergreen, my little bean
                                  The child who was never born
                                       A handful of soft down
                                    Glass bowl with pink walls
                                with an opening to the universe

                                      Death, no sign of life
                                            A quiet heart 
                                     in this star-crossed trip
                                    Blocked by rivers of tears
                                      The painful experience
                                       Unprocessed trauma

                                    When things are difficult
                                       frustration, sadness, 
                                        anger and longing
                              You become completely paralyzed
                                       A piece of my heart
                                    will always be in heaven
                                      The inner dialogue ...
                                                        if you only knew
