Heart's truth



There is something here always
that knows how to be
with anything
with everything

It has always been here
But I didn't know

And then when I knew
I turned a deaf ear

And then when I heard
I still didn't listen

And then when I listened
I didn't quite trust

And then when I trusted
I still kept slipping back
into old ways
that didn't work
and don't work even now

But this that knows how to be
with anything
with everything
won't give up on me

Relentlessly merciful
it breaks into my body anyways
and teaches me
and teaches me
until I don't need to learn anymore
but just am it
without compromise
fearlessly free
