the abyss

there was a moment
when the sacred fire of life engulfed me
and I dropped into a vast stillness
a pulsating silence
shattered
suspended
all while drowning
until finding a place of rest
discoveing I could breathe under water

I must learn how to live
in this new sacred emptiness

no where to hide
with the fabric of my life unravelled by radical sorrow
I could rage .... part of me really wanted to
or
I could turn, kneel and say yes
finding the breath of surrender
yielding to the pain of the suffering

grief has stripped me
naked, I am united with Love

this great loss has released a cry of  anguish
only Love can now fill the shattered container of my heart
and replenish this awful emptiness
