If you listen very carefully
Let yourself feel you
Sink into the layers
Outer, middle, till—
Inside our own bodies
Love is talking to…
The me never witnessed
Curled and clinging to…
A me who’s sore and severed
Years of living
Two
Different lives entirely
Of me without you
There in your own shadow
A being never seen
Touched with lies expression
Of love lost in between
Running from existing
Inside a caving world
Shoulder heavy burdens
To rise above this truth:
Our sensory senses will not
Hush until they’re felt.

Twelve years ago, my life was heading in a very different direction. I was directing a dance and gymnastics program that I built from the ground up which I was highly passionate about. Had my daughter not been diagnosed with autism, I would likely still be pursuing this career today. Because she was diagnosed with autism, my life has been forever changed. Along my parenting autism journey, I was gifted with what I came to understand as a spiritual awakening. It wasn’t something I went looking for, rather something that happened, and as a result, has endowed me with a wealth of knowledge and insights that I feel inspired to share with others.

Phoenix, this is phenomenal and I have the understanding from whence these words did come. Powerful Truth of one who knows how to find that one so afraid to be seen in the Light much less to be Loved. Wow! Excellent bar none! I SO enjoyed this poem! My “little girl” heard …… (smile)
