Love Poem: Point of Reference
Kelly Hitchcock Avatar
Written by: Kelly Hitchcock

Point of Reference

Thoughts emerge
Emotions illicit fear and pain
Critical egoic attachments
Creates distortions and self-disdain

In seeing who you’re not
A metamorphosis occurs
The truth has always been there
A little voice was never heard

Awareness of the “now”
Enlightenment to past thoughts
We see the point of reference
The manifestation of flawed ought’s

So love the little one
Who suffered years of pain
There was nothing the child could do
 Liberation from self-shame

Now a whole new world emerges
Our dark childhood lights the path
No need for affirmation
Self-esteem regained at last
