#Ggive a tree in memory note free#
Reunited with your banished heart, now healed and freed,Īnd feel the clear, free air bless your new face.
So that for the first time you can walk away from that place, May your forgiveness still the hunger of the wound
May they wash away your hurt and free your heart. Until your heart has wept its way to your true self.Īs your tears fall over that wounded place, Who can accompany you through the fear and grief May you be blessed with a wise and compassionate guide You will have to scrape through all the layers of coveringĪnd according to your readiness, everything will open. Only you know where the casket of pain is interred. Having waited all these years for you to return and know. Now the act of seeing begins your work of mourning.Īnd your memory is ready to show you everything, You could only see what touched you as already torn. That faced them through a dark fester of thornsĬonverting whoever came into a further figure of the wrong How deep down your eyes were always owned by something When you should have felt safe enough to fall toward love, You are coming to see how your looking often darkened That has grown always invisibly beside you You had forgotten you knew from the inside out Īnd a time when that bitter tree was planted Through the white curtain of yesterdays to a place When the pain takes you where you would rather not go, This is the season of your awkward harvesting, That gives every person present the opportunity to plant the trees in the way they best see fit.This is the age you are broken or turned into gold.įor Someone Awakening To The Trauma of His or Her Past:įor everything under the sun there is a time.
