Redemption: Dream Work and a New Poem

 I had three dreams in a month in which old heartbreaks returned.  After speaking about this and relating one of the dreams to my dream group, this poem came.  I named it Redemption.

Sit in the east.

You are not alone,

but the group

is small.

When you ask

for help,

you are told

to play

your drum and

sing your song

softly.

You obey

the directive,

and a thought arises,

a thread that

you need

to follow,

back through memory,

back through heartbreak,

back through anger.

What brought you pain

lies deeper than

rejection, deeper than

the hurts bestowed

by those who

were never worthy

of you.

To the center

of the maze

you must go,

following the cord

that leads

deep into

your heart.

What loving Ariadne

waits for you

to do what

must be done,

who gifted you

the means

to find your way

home?
