Pain Is The Goldsmith

Pain is the goldsmith of wisdom
Tempered by raging fire 
It cleanses our souls

It’s the secret language,
Of the unbearably lost
Roaming the abyss of torture

Only when you completely surrender
To the sacredness of your pain
Will you experience the tenderness

Suffering is the grindstone, the smelting
The purification of your soul
Breaking open to receive the light

The destruction of the ego is the holy
Sacrifice for enlightenment 
To unchain us from the false Self

The lies we choose to believe
The story we told ourselves
To feed a superficial existence

Pain destroys the false gods
It reveals your true sacredness
A beautiful soul broken open

Namaste
