Awakening Journeys

The spiritual path has wrecked my world

And made me realize I want more than pearls

It jostled my hurt and stirred my pain

Its changed me so that I will never be the same

Here I find myself coming undone

Yet there’s a feeling I’ve just begun

Begun what I could not say

Except I know in my heart I mustn’t stray

Once learned it’s hard to forget

The truth that lives behind all of it

And to settle for anything less will only fester

So we must learn how to embrace this life after

A great unlearning, a great remembering

Surrendering to the Divine hands that weave ‘me’ into existence.
