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!
