Reading Time: < 1 minute Saturday Poem Vulnerability The toughness in the rock is enticing to your hurt. But it only makes it harder. The softness of the water pains you as it runs through the gash, but it cleanses it. The harshness in the knife’s edge invites your fear to strike though you may see a defense it is nevertheless a crime. The tenderness in your tears may leave you open and you may believe that at that moment you are the weakest. But like the water that cleanses you, your tears drain the venom of your suffering and oppression. That crack that hurts is not you being broken. It’s you being opened. Vulnerability is the power that throws you into your loss so that you can feel your love. So that you can BE your love. —————————— Maria Mar©2014 New York, NY This poem is the intellectual property of Maria Mar. It is protected by international copyright law.
