The heart melts, life springs, Wellness wells

April 28, 2021

The heart bleeds, numbness strikes, tears blind
Where to – how- what-????
Silence the answer- Stillness
No time for recriminations- accusations-blames-complaints
No space for mourning or groaning too..
Carrying on routines- knowing full well
Any time anything will hit
Where and who we know not

The heart melts, life springs, Wellness wells
This too will pass- we will together
Take long deep breaths
Time to unite in holding-wishing- willing for Healing to flow in –
Relief to flood in.. Mercy- Grace to seep in
Nudging in through mountains of pain
Misery -loss- unite we will
Holding on to hope

The heart melts, life springs, Wellness wells
This too will pass- we will together
Take long deep breaths
Lets unite- be Healing – Relief – Mercy- Grace- Hope- Balm
Finding ways – paths to reach out
In our own inimitable ways, grounded in safety
Beyond and beneath the vicious grip
Holding on to hope

The heart melts, life springs, Wellness wells
This too will pass- we will together
Take long deep breaths
Let the tears flow for our fellow ones
Struggling for a breath- we unite to do our bit – raise the bar
Of humanity- paths aplenty
To do our bit – visioning health returning
Holding on to hope

The heart melts, life springs, Wellness wells
This too will pass- we will together
Take long deep breaths
Compassion is no rocket science
Simply blend our thoughts, feelings and actions – to rise above
Our selves wishing willing
Healing to pour in to
Save this sacred land

The heart melts, life springs, Wellness wells
This too will pass- we will together
Take long deep breaths
Sacred ‘cause of its history, resilience
Showcasing wisdom-strategies
That brought down might with right and simplicity- to rise above
Mundane power shows
With hope and grit
