Balm of Love

And you do not
wish to cover
it over with
something to hide
the crack,
the chip,
the hole –
do you not
see what you
can find to
fill the hole –
to make the wall
whole again?

And yes,
there are times
when you experience
in this life –
a crack,
a chip,
a hole
in the field
that surrounds you.
And are these
cracks not often
painful
when they appear?

And when
you attempt
to cover up
these openings –
do they not
often reappear
again and again?

Is not a crack,
a chip,
a hole –
an opening,
an opportunity,
to fill up
what is waiting
to be whole?

Is not Love
the Healing Balm
that fills the spaces
that appear –
but do you
not often look
outside to bring
this Love within?

Do not these spaces
open a pathway
to your heart –
does not the
Balm of Love
heal from the
inside out?

Let the Balm of Love
fill up the chips and cracks –
are not all openings
an Invitation to Love?

As you heal with
the Love
That You Are within –
do you not fill up
what is waiting
to be Whole?

Let Love pour in
from the inside out –
as you experience
the Wholeness
That Is You.

Holy.
Whole-ly.
Love.
