..careful what you wish for

joy is a but a tiny window into the heart space 

unsought pain and suffering is what breaks it open 

open and bare in a way that you never wanted 



walking with open , raw, woundedness , light shimmering through your tears 

you muster the strength somehow to allow the breath to flow in and out 

your beauty shines through even when you feel covered in debris 


it is too early for you to see 

to see the new fertile grounds through the cracks on your skin 

to see power taking shape through the eruptions that you cannot contain 


whoever seeks love, is asking to be in pain too 

ask a mother, she will bear and bare her truths 

ask a lover, she will bear and bare her truths 


Is that why they say..be careful what you wish for?
