It's getting harder
to tell you where I am
You seem to want to know
You know if I dissemble
I've rescued another Monster
Her name is Vulnerability
You say, "How can I help?"
Your voice holds a sigh.
The Dragon of Want
attacked me
You say, "I don't want
From people who can't give."
I am in the belly of the Whale
Loneliness
You say, "What can you do
to be less lonely?"
You are ready
To help me away from the Monster
To give me a sword for the Dragon
To make the Whale cough me up
You are so generous
Others turn their backs
Away from Monsters
Dragons
Whales
I am embracing the Monster
I let the Dragon's flames engulf me
I walk into the Whale's mouth
I wait
I was waiting for someone
I was waiting for someone to say
I see you
I see you are in the belly of the Whale
Here is where I am
I see myself
I am the Monster
The Dragon
The Whale
I stay present
The circle is complete
Joy is everywhere
