Her Heart is Cracked Open
Sensitive being
She feels empathy
More than most
Her eyes only a blink away from waterfalls
Her heart only a beat away from breaking
Why does it hurt so very much?
On the cusp of a new age
There must be an awakening
An awakening of hearts
An awakening of minds
An awakening of souls
How does it begin?
It begins when the hearts of empathy are cracked open to reveal the compassion, the kindness and the love that is the truth
It begins when the passions of those hearts start to reveal themselves in all of their glory
It begins when those souls can see the difference in a broken heart and a heart that is cracked open to know truth, feel truth and see truth
When she can know anger and yet know non-judgment
When she can know heartache and yet still pour out her love
When she can know that perfection works in its own time and still not rush
When she can know her primal self and recognize that it is as savage as her heart will allow it to be
When she can know her mind and still forgive herself those thoughts not as full of love as she would like
Her Heart is Cracked Open
And yet she still does not have all of the answers
She puts all of her trust in the beauty of the Unknown
The paradox of life that she has been entrusted with
Giving her all of herself to control
And opening up her cracked heart to allow her to accept all that she cannot control
Surrender
Devotion
Beauty
Awe
It doesn’t stop the heart from hurting
It doesn’t stop the pain
What it does is beat a little stronger
A Cracked Open Heart is a little bit braver
A little bit fiercer
A little bit stronger
Than it was
Her Heart is Cracked Open
Do not be afraid
Be free to beat to the rhythm
Be free to open up to the unknown
Be free to change your own dance to step into your light
Feel into your heart
Is it your pain that you feel
Or the pain of your ancestors
The pain of the earth
The pain of the stars looking down on our global beauty
Together with Our Hearts Cracked Open
We beat the drum that will not stop
Until the only sound it makes
Is the song of Peace
The song of Oneness
The song of Unity
And beats with the Heart of the Earth
In time
Forever
In this crazy world do you feel as if your heart has been cracked open? You are not alone!
