Go Inside - June, 1998

go inside

to a place of bitter memories

call out to that

bleeding and abandoned child

listen to the tales

that need telling

to the crying

of a wounded soul

weep

listen uncritically

as the arrows are pulled free

exposing raw wounds

and somehow

find love for this

wounded soul

and for the "other"

who wounded

The process of analysis uncovers a lot of pain, a necessary process that frees the psyche of unacknowledged suffering. Shadows are brought to the light so that they lose their power, a power of darkness.
