Germination

When hurt descends from the tree of life and

The stepladder breaks straight onto your pain

A trampoline turned jo-jo strangles creeping ivy

Entangles in trapezes and dreams of surrender


Pick me up where I have buried my wounded soul

Uncover my darkness and cradle my weeping heart

Mind gaps’s emotions and feelings of rational thought

Transcend into vibrating light of balance and harmony


At the bottom of searching for circles’ impermanence

Rests a rusty wheel barrow that nestles a garden of love

Sheds a load from my shoulders and unburdens torment

Fallow fields harbour seeds of regrowth and compassion

Pain's the breaking point where you shed all that hurts or is no longer wanted in your life, onto the compost heap, spread it around, it fertilisers as good as any shizz, water it with tears, nourish with self-love (sometimes this is hard, but it will come) ...something beautiful will eventually grow and bloom...it's just a matter of time.

I can identify with this write... would have gone mad in my situation, had it not been for my garden... I turned a rock-filled landscape into a green jungle cos It was that bad! lol now, I miss that garden so much but it means I simply have to grow another! :)

Always hope at the end of a dark tunnel, and these lines vividly describe a very dark tunnel indeed.
