Gentleness

I have a gentleness within me

It comes from my heart.

It is, I believe, the core of my Being.

It is always there.

Many times it is challenged.

I feel my heart harden, my mind dark.

There is a force that attempts to unsettle me.

I don't see this as a dark force

It is just the World working

To make me stronger.

Stonger that I may know the grace of gentleness

And respect it.

I have been through a darkness.

I have been through the physical experience

I have passed through the mental low.

The pain of a life not knowing

Always seeking

Unresting

Not fulfilled

Yet, graceful in gratitude

For all of lifes blessings.

In the end, now even

I feel the gentleness

It was always there

Because that is what I am.
