fight and flight

Fight and Flight

how strange it seems
to fight an illness and disease
when illness and disease
and pain and suffering
are but signs of resistance
to the call of Love
they come like a red light
to caution us that
we must stop
our way of thinking of control
now i choose to
let go of all attempts
to will what Love wills not
allowing these painful, scary comings
as welcome reminders
of my fight and flight response
signaling a design i made
to hide the truth of what we be.
now i allow the Love
that truly is my source
to heal the neutral form
our flight and fight
has turned to pain and death
