Poem: Love in the making
Poem by Christi Ortiz | FāVS News
Depression has been my Medicine,
my holy lifeline that has led me to the great I AM,
to remember who and what I truly am.
We have to have enough pain to leave the game
and come back HOME to the truth
of being love always and everywhere true.
I want truth, and I’ll take it in any form it comes to me,
if depression is part of how I can stay whole
and true to the truth of what’s going on in the collective,
then I will pray for enough joy and strength and love to bare it brave
and long enough to stand true to the fact I know,
the only thing I know to be true in the marrow of my bones,
and that is that LOVE is all there is.
It sometimes just takes enough faith and courage to sit here long enough
to see through the veils of hate and violence and pain and prejudice and injustice
to see the love behind and beneath and through it all.
We just need enough time to see
and to know the long Arc of history and the long ARC of love that will rescue us
from any hell of our own making.
Because in the end we are all love in the making and love is all there is.
What appears to be the absence of it is just love in the making,
just wait a bit longer,
it’s always there
and always will be.
