Your Doorway In

Dear one
I see the pain
in your heart —
the gaping wound
that’s been covered
with your good intention
to move on, to be strong,
to let go.
Now
in the stillness of the moment
you are safe to move into it,
to be with it, to turn toward
rather than away.
Trust
that this pain
will not break you.
Trust
that this pain
is made of the same love
that you’ve most longed for.
The wound is your doorway in.
