Open Hands





Open Hands

by

Carmela Mulroe





I hold my hands open in emptiness.


I hold my hands open in fullness.


********




I hold my hands open in emptiness waiting to be filled.



I hold my hands open in fullness waiting to be relieved of the heaviness I carry.



I hold my hands open:

accepting the ebb and flow of life,

the gift and grief,

the past, present, future,

and the desire to be whole.




I open my hands in acceptance of love, loss, life and death.


I open my hands in emptiness waiting to be filled.
