She climbs
With her broken heart in her pocket
And her tears carving the path
Striving toward a hand to hold
And lead the way
Up, over, and through
What she thought would break her
But instead has saved her
Awaken. Heal. Inspire.
She climbs
With her broken heart in her pocket
And her tears carving the path
Striving toward a hand to hold
And lead the way
Up, over, and through
What she thought would break her
But instead has saved her
In her kaleidoscope mind
All is crystal clear
A maddening array of light
Encircled by the darkness she feels inside
It is broken but it feels right
Like the reflection off her beaten heart
Integrate the pain,
The shame,
The dark places we so try to push away
For those are with us,
They are us,
Our parts
Just as our joy and our sadness
And our fear
Pierce our innermost being
And become one,
So must the wrongs perpetrated upon us
Become us
That we may transcend,
Release the pent-up gasses of constriction,
And reveal the space
For integration of wholeness

If we surrender to the new
What may happen?
We don’t know…
It may not bring us instant joy
Or immediate relief
Because we can’t see the big picture
Or its temporary nature,
It may seem to lead us down a path
Which feels permanent,
Like concrete in our souls,
We may work harder, longer,
We may think we’re broken for a time
And yet, if we choose the path of same
We know what happens there –
More of what we’ve always known
What is the decision?
Do we risk it?
Do we listen,
To the whisper
Of surrender?

How does the love shine through you?
How does the light find its way?
Through the cracks
And the holes
And the broken open soul
The heartbreaks
The love aches
The nights on our knees
Drowning in prayer
Waking up in the morning
Gasping for air
These moments of brokenness open the path
To the lighthouse within, to peace from the wrath,
The moment is ready for those with hearts open
Light and love shine right through where one is broken
