Divine Pain
Learning through crisis points
The desire to smoke a joint
Allow it all to flow away
Instead of shouting “mayday, mayday”
But here in this space
We must wait
Observe the urge
Leaning closer and closer to the verge
Feel into the pain
And the shame
The desire to run
To buy a gun
See, we are at the edge of a cliff
Observe the waves rip
It’s a riptide
So powerful, everything and everyone it overrides
A planetary change
So deep is the power of this rage
Earth wide
We can choose to sink or glide
Rapture is on its way
Heaven-sent and embedded in the clay
For its time
To open to a new relationship with the divine
