Poem: Empty

A gentle offering from my poetry book, In Rooms of Truth — this poem is part of a collection written specifically for moments when you're feeling lost or coming undone. Listen to this when you are in the dissolution and you need works of love and care to trust in your path.

My heart is tender. Grief overflowing from my core. Exhausted from holding on. Terrified to let go. The voice of truth muddled under all the noise, The distraction, The numbing. Empty, She says. Empty and empty again. I am so tired of emptying. Yet I signed up for this. The loss, The heartbreak, The breaking open. What if it breaks me? What if I don't come back together? You will. You will be born again and again and die through every portal of initiation because you are love unto love and everything that stands in the way of love must go. Breathe into trust. What is meant for you will not miss you. You might just find more love in this empty space.
