You Broke My Heart, Today

You came today: sorry,
You manifested yourself
to me:
you broke my heart, today
you rolled over me
like a storm, a cloudburst
I felt you there, inside
my tiny heart.

I know what you were doing
but it was painful
--not unexpected--
just painful.

You broke my heart
in the middle of the day:
no explanation
no "excuse me, please,
I've got to do this!"
only this incredible pain:
my entire being awashed in
warm, wet tears
but now
I understand
why you did what you did:

That puny heart of mine
that silly heart
conditioned by the System
to reject pain:
so shrivelled up in itself
was much too small for you:

In the midst of the pain
I felt refreshed

You broke my heart, today,
and rebuilt it
just a little bigger this time
you made room for love
and did some clean up too:
some old dirt
clogging up the flow of life
came out.

though I still hurt...
plenty!
though I still trembled
in fear!
though I still cried silently
tears down my face
looking at a golden sun
through cumulus clouds
crowning mountain tops
I saw rain fall up there
faraway, gentle, crying
with me:

I understood the pain
the cosmic pain we feel
in fellowship with you
the gift of God to those
who love:
Now I run home in the evening
to the one you gave me to love
I feel the pain
yet I feel her love too
there is pain--there is joy
soon, she will hold me
and all will be as it should be
again: I thank you
for all of it.
