I woke with old wounds
fresh, like the sharp scent
of newly cut flowers
These scars carried for life times
I finally embrace and hold you
with compassion, and forgiveness
I hold your weight
a lump in my throat
an ache in my chest
needs unmet
voices unheard
fiery temper:
the child hiding in fear
I cradle the stinging edges
of my backside
I take in the sheer blunt force of your words
I am the wounded healer
I choose to breathe in peace
to allow the golden light of spirit and source
comfort the torn edges inside
with love and understanding
I take in the brilliance
allow my roots to flow into the center of the universe
where I am safe and perfect
I am the wounded healer
