Love listens, it has no need to control
Love listens, it has no need to control
It does not fix
It listens with patience, with compassion, with curiosity, strength and courage, with empathy…
It knows its own limits and knows when to hold, and let be…
Love listens and knows that taking control steals from its loved ones…
Love does not run from pain, from shame, from fear and hurt
Loves holds until truly called forth
It knows its own limits, It knows its own limits
And when those limits are reached it quietly and compassionately sits and holds
It knows that fixing, that not listening steals…..
Steals a loved one’s sense of self
Steals a loved one’s sense of self…
A sense of self so needed to grow, to feel, to thrive, to grow conscious
To grow and become strong, free from the pain of Not knowing, of Not knowing…that am I safe, am I wanted…that I am loved.
Love….to breathe and calm,
Love….to breathe and calm,
To settle into one’s own knowing that I can listen, and hold…and pass a gift….a gift
To love and listen, to breathe and hold…
