After the rain

It washed over me

The sorrow last night

Like floodgates opened

The dam gave out

I was ready for it

It was needed

It was expected

It was not easy

And yes...

This time-

I welcomed it

I sat with it

I weathered it

And then

Neither

Happy

Nor sad

Blissful sleep took over

I awoke 

Somewhat foggy

And

Resolute

"We must put ourselves in the way of annihilation... Over and over again. Only then can we expose what is indestructible in us- (Pema Chodron)"

I begin to see them

My indestructible parts

How wonderful that those are the same parts

That 

I love the most about me-

What a discovery

That which I love is indestructible 

That which cannot be destroyed

Is

LOVE

I AM LOVE

And love shall find me

All that was lost

Destroyed

That I mistook for love

Was not

Love cannot be destroyed

Love cannot be lost

I am love

And LOVE shall find me

After the rain...
