love conquers pain

i wonder
is having compassion
for all parts of ourselves
what frees us
/
all so tender
so fragile
like a cloud
here, then gone
/
maybe we all
want to be
loved
seen into
/
i see the versions
of myself who grasp
who gasp so needily
for air
/
for air is love
it is always here
but i forgot!
how poignant
/
i love you
in the forgetting
we can dance still
or cry, scream, sigh
/
the fear is good
and the rage too
all of it; so very holy
and wanting to be seen
/
i see you grief
i see you greed
i see you lust
i see you hunger
/
for more.
to look
is to love
love conquers pain
/
now,
how to look
without becoming?
please teach me
/
discernment,
wise discrimination
i see you and love you
but i am not you
/
i am You
