Pains of Love "
Jagoda Lane
Healing balm
Our greatness and joy,
also that which brings us our pain
is the heart's desire sought after,
down many roads,
byways,
false starts that leave gashing wounds,
seeking love where there is pain
until the lesson learned
of what is love's teaching.
It is not pain that troubles
for love and pain go together,
like twins,
entwined in an embrace pure,
love is a crucible of fire
bringing to reflection what keeps us from it,
allowing us to let go,
to become aware of false seeking.
Some never learn,
yet they do seek,
even if their life is filled with pain,
emptiness,
yet the pearl is sought
and eventually the love that seeks us
will embrace them
filling the void,
healing the wounds,
that seem to afflict all.
Our small loving actions
even to strangers
can be a healing balm;
so let us love one another
be kind
treat others as we would like to be treated.
Love makes us all healers.
