    "Becoming Whole"

    Lately, I’ve been searching deep,
    through silent nights and wounds that weep.
    Reflecting on the path I’ve known,
    the love I gave, yet stood alone.

    This season of stillness, a destined pause,
    life unfolding by divine laws.
    Losing, healing, standing still,
    learning that time bends to God’s will.

    I’ve poured my soul into the hands of others,
    lifted friends, lovers, sisters, brothers.
    But now, I turn that love within,
    where healing starts, where I begin.

    No longer chasing, forcing, pleading,
    just trusting life, trusting its meaning.
    For what is mine will never stray,
    it will find me in its own way.

    Yes, I want love, but love is not a cure,
    not a place where wounds endure.
    No one should fix what they didn’t break,
    love should build, not bend till it aches.

    I seek a bond where spirits grow,
    not a place where burdens show.
    A hand to hold, not one to mend,
    a partner first, a lover, a friend.

    So I stand in truth, in light, in grace,
    embracing healing, finding my space.
    Celibate, patient, guarding my soul,
    waiting for love that makes me whole.

    No more weight upon my chest,
    no more giving till there’s nothing left.
    Love is balance, love is free,
    love will meet me when it’s meant to be.

    And when it does, I will not chase,
    I will not question time or place.
    For love aligned, by fate, by call,
    needs no force—it simply falls.

    • Anita, this kind of love is what everyone deserves in their lives. I’m so glad that you’ve realized you are worth so much more than the one-sided love you’ve given others in the past. You are right that love that is meant to be “simply falls” into place without the need for force. I hope that you find it soon! Thank you for sharing this piece.
