You Are a Canyon

 

Beneath your sadness
and fear 
there is a hole so vast and deep 
you call it an abyss. 
 
You have looked away every time 
you caught it out of the corner
of your eye.

It doesn't matter if you used
drugs or scripture 
pride or self pity
anxiety or sloth
you have found a way to avoid it.    

Next time you notice 
the abyss
don't be led astray.
Hold it in your attention.
Yield to it.
Let it take you.

That abyss is your freedom.
That vastness is your soul. 
That depth is your love. 
That hole is your path. 

You are a canyon
Who has been trying to lay yourself flat
Cursing the hole inside you
Yearning for the sweet echoes 
That can only be caused by playing in your emptiness!
