Truth can feel upending.
It can touch pain unresolved.
Both pushing us into a pool of grief
and lifting us back out of it
It can shatter our world
all be it a false one
and send us soaring to new beliefs
one´s where love sits.
Truth must be more vital
to our self interest than comfort
and after there is great relief,
a lightness from the truth of it.
A new world opens up
that once was hid but now is bright
and we wonder why in disbelief
we didn´t embrace it...sooner.
