love poem: radical acceptance
Here’s something I’ve never done before: shared some of my writing. But it felt like I should, and when my heart speaks, I’m powerless to do anything but listen. This is what I’m practicing:
Radical Acceptance
For him
I have lain down
Shone the light into the ground
Seen below the resistance and strife
The fears–yes, fears–of sharing my life
I have been yelling in my head
Screaming words I’ve left unsaid
Driving to exhaustion the
love love love love love
On my knees, forehead to the floor
I sent a prayer to the universe
“I don’t know what to do anymore”
Ringing through my tears of false sorrow
The answer came clear–sunk into my marrow
Accept him
There is no love
That is not fully given
No conditions set out
Or contracts written
There is no love
Unless you fully accept him
Are you speaking of an individual, or something larger?
