beginning, continuing our
journey
history around us, memories,
our pain and scar tissue
with ballast, with baggage
steamer trunks overflowing
layers, scar tissues,
with memory, with suffering
our pain not letting go
weighed down, heavy
a burden on our hearts
our lives so full
no place for God
too much held in
inside, within, scar tissues
the rocks, the sand, the
grit
the comfortable pain
held within, too often,
leaving no place for God
