DON'T HIDE YOUR WOUNDS
Don't hide your wounds, friend.
Let them into this last candlelight.
I won't judge you. See, we are all broken.
There's no shame in being wounded.
You have fought many battles.
Your wounds are not your 'faults'.
Illumined, they are reminders of a deeper healing.
Illumined, they are invitations to the Unbroken.
I smell your wounds festering from denial.
Quick, tear off those bandages.
I will take you exactly as you are.
Right there at the heart of your wounds,
infinitely deeper than "enlightenment",
a silent Hallelujah stirs to wake.
You are only a screwed-up mess
compared to some second-hand image
of "perfection".
