There is a war
between imminent future threats
and burdened past regrets
my mind is unsettled
how to declare a truce?

There is a woman
who has let fear
come oh so near
frighten love away
from her heart.

There is a space
where thoughts float free
don’t bother me
and letting go
is a choice.

There are these words
to reach all lands
to join our hands
may suffering be
a door to love.

(inspired by my family)

Dear Mermaid ,
Very serious and sensitive interogations.

Can suffering be a door to Love? Or Is it love that helps us to tolerate our sufferings??
Hugs.
