Is it light becoming Love that breaks us, then?
and this being human an essential
container in which Love
might become Real
like the velveteen rabbit, Divine Love matured
on the crucible of humanity
transformed within our experience here of tragedy
betrayal, heartbreak, loss
into these jewels –
compassion, forgiveness, tenderness, and mercy –
until this fragile blessed container becomes too constricted to withhold
Love’s exponential growth, at last breaking
open from within to reveal the hidden
My question then is this? Is it the breakage that inspires Love’s becoming
or growth in Love that forges the crack?
And is the crack where the light gets in
or out? And do we say
yes to this breaking open
before we are stuffed into these skins
shoved through this needle’s eye of birthing
Love.
