dear one, once you’ve
tasted
how bitter
this world
this life
can be
I hope; I pray
that you
remember
where you came from
whose you are
and how many
came before you
you
so that
you could be here
you could experience
you could live
you could love
and you could
find
the most beautiful
thing
just to have it
gut you again
you could lose
you could break
you could shatter
you could die a
million tiny
awful
deaths
and still find your way
back home to
trust
trust
trust
trust
not in the action but in the spirit
the spirit that brought you forth
everything
in nature
tells us that
the birth and death
cycle
brings forth the
most beautiful
sweetness
but first,
the bitter.
