And that moment
When you have been drifted that far in oblivion
That the only thing subsists is Pain
Blinding pain
Blackening pain
Corroding pain
Imprisoning pain
Commanding pain
Omnipresent pain
That it becomes more than just pain
Not any more, a pain
That it comfortably numbs you…wraps you all over
That it finally eases your pain.

ReplyDeleteThis ache is such a pain!
How do I explain this to others?
Only I have to suffer from it-
As I am agonizing internally.
It is now spring:
A wonderful season for feelings to blossom
I have been grievously hurt –
How quickly will I heal?
If the injury was physical,
Thousands of medications are available
For me to get well.
Where the injury is in the psyche,
It never alleviates in one’s lifetime.
(II)
When her pain leads her to your doors,
It is you who opens and beacons her,
Pining for your embrace, she leaves all behind,
Finding her way among a labyrinth of obstacles.
When her pain makes her sing, her tune--
You cannot stay away-it charms you towards her,
The pain in the song pounds like a tempest,
It forces you out opening your doors.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
ReplyDeleteEven as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.
~ Kahlil GibranOn Pain
If pain must come, may it come quickly.Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.
~ Paulo Coelho
