The Kindness in your Cruelty

Oh creator of all things,
Keeper of my souls wings
How timeously you have shown me,
The kindness in your cruelty
For in hurt and pain, the seeds of wisdom
All the maps and keys to my kingdom

Oh keeper of me
The truth is, I can now see
For in your kindness of my gift
A hidden cruelty, another spiritual lift


The gift you have given me
Truly rare, that part of me
A love that is pure, beyond this realm
In its existence, the truth overwhelm

The rarest flower in all of the world
My duty, the shield I must build
Apart of me left open and wide
My soul, I must protect and hide
A seedling that is yet to grow
A seedling my love to show


It is a gift I can never keep
A beauty I can never own
It's diminish leis in my weep
It is kindness that must be shown

Oh keeper of me
Please help me to see
Please let me be
In separation, we
