Saturday Poem
Vulnerability
Shapeshifter Craddled by the River-Art by Maria Mar(c)2014
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.
