Dawn & Dusk

I have a wounded soul
A vulnerable place within
Where my emotions are exposed
Where pain has torn my skin

Spiteful words
Strike so much deeper
Infestations of shame enter
A torrent of evil creatures

My rational mind
Can bat the words away
But my emotions scream
No matter what I say

It was then I realised
That my emotions are a part of me
They need to experience healing
If I am to be free

I need to gently explore
The hurts of my past
Bring resolution to the trauma
That in my heart, has amassed

For me, it is with writing
That healing enters in
Where I can unwind the emotions
And play them like a violin

Then in that space
Of discovery and creation
My God enters in
And begins an excavation

Trading my hurts
For deep roots of His love
That penetrates my soul
And starts healing me up
