Pain spoke…

Written By Rev Paulette Robinson, PhD

When invited…

Pain arrived heavy

laden

in my hips and pelvis

moving downward.

 

Pain said, “I carry”

I felt the heaviness of a fully pregnant woman

The burden of a pack animal

prodding through life

seeking relief and freedom.

looking for the destination

waiting to arrive and release.

 

Pain then offered, “I hide”

An unknown that is

                                     dark

                                     moist

                                     elusive

a fog —without edges, containing a “something.”

I must know.

I can’t see.

Round and round, round and round. 

Hidden in deeply felt.

 

And Pain offered once more, “I grieve.”

Arriving in the heart, the gut

a vessel

a tunnel to “I am the many”

the waters in and between

It is… the not yet was.

Submerged in

        gasping for breath

        pleading for relief.

Emptying into the overflowing waters.

 

Pain is

             my tormentor

             my teacher

             my partner.

 

My heart is grateful for the knowing.
