Wounded Heart

Hidden within
lies the battered, bleeding, bruised soul
lacerated and disfigured.
Years of suffering culminate.
Remove the masks
you present to the world.
Expose the wounded heart
with all of the hurt, insecurities
fear and resentments.
Healing flows
through the streams
of awareness
refreshing the soul,
breaking through the dams
which once provided
a fortress
against other wounded hearts.
To experience peace,
love must be allowed
to enter in.
