It Is Not The Physical Pain

Inserted into our lives Pain teaches us the ethos of life In its multiple forms Pain stabs deeper than flesh Pain opens wounds deeper than skin Pain lingers on longer than tears Pain digs deep into the subconscious Opening a track into the Soul It's not the physical pain that hurts most It is the loss, the grief and the heartache It is the pain steaming out the Soul The pain of losing a loved one Stabs deeper into the psyche Shaking all semblance of certainty Challenging our Faith Unravelling our Love And exposing our Hope Pain is the teacher we all hate Pain is the only ancient sacred surgical tool That operates on the Soul
