Purging Pain

I grappled with love and pain
Trying to understand
Which one was stronger
Which one would win

Pain by its nature
Devastates and cripples
It darkens and destroys
From the inside out

Love in its glory
Heals and makes happy
It restores and gives hope
From broken to whole

How does one win
This age old battle
Between the dark night
And the radiant day?

Surround yourself with love
Until pain vacates
Like a noisy visitor, kicked out
Your beautiful, sacred space

LOVE is the only solution
Find it, hold onto it
And appreciate it
ALWAYS
