Don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes
to the burning light,
the disaster scene--
let it wash over you
fully, feel every
microscopic tragedy,
acknowledge it all.

Don't recede darkly
to your corners
carved so deep within;
stay here at the mouth
of your solitude,
burning with every
unhidden hurt & shame.

Why? Because
suffering is its own
meaning & lesson;
because feeling
is all or nothing,
it cannot choose one,
and pain is part of all.
