Hymn to Healing

My foot cracked the other day

An opening with purpose greater than mine

Love quickly entered the wound

Knowing clearly that this was its chance

 

It began its journey close to the ground

Flowing in many forms, through many people

Sensing an impending importance here

Unheralded angels gathering for the transmutation.

 

Love headed straight for my heart

I could feel the tenderness rising

Rising, repairing the long-injured vessel

Every crack patched with the balm of mercy.

 

It has not been an easy journey

Tears of resistance flowed freely and often.

And I now know that my foot will heal

When love finds its rightful resting place

In the center of my heart

 

THEN, I will be on my way.
