Uncharted

I contain a

Deep deep pain

It feels like

Rapidly falling

Into an abyss

Every part of

My will swerves

From those dark

Echoless depths

If I send down

A flare

What dragons

Will I see there?

Instead my mind

Busies itself with

Projection and illusion

To stay at

The safe edges

But healing requires

Meeting and surrendering

In all the pain

To teach that this

Is where safety

Now is

🤍

For dear Rick, who carried his own deep deep pain.
