A Poem                                                                      

JOINING

She got up this morning with premonitions of dark happenings

and we proceeded to join because sorrow cannot abide when love comes calling.

I extend tendrils of love beyond my body into her mind. She grieves deeply.

 There is a loss of self.A wall with her name on it is coming down.

She grieves its passing.She sees it as self-annihilation.

I see it as redemption.

She leads the way. I push myself to join her. 

It has always taken such courage for me to feel what we all resist feeling.

But it is the only way.

I join her in her. I welcome her in me making my heart a sanctuary once more.

 I hold her.  I comfort her

but she leaps ahead mourning the loss of a beloved cat in childhood.

 The little girl bereft and alone.

Every dark and painful place a rebellion that we replace with sharing.

 I cry both our tears.

She goes deeper to a place of swords and death.

 I follow wanting only to catch up with her and love away the darkness.

 I call the Christ. I am not alone.

 Together we find her again and again and the darkness dissolves.

She goes ever inward to the mind of humanity and its suffering.

What a price to pay for separation . It is too high.

She doesn't turn back but births the world as I hold her inside and out.

It is joining and there is joy. We are home.
