Welcome to The Sacred Death Centre – Glastonbury

Will You Hold My Hand?
Will you hold my hand for a little while?
I don’t need you to save me
No need for you to fix anything
No need for you to hold my pain
But will you simply hold my hand?
I do not need your words
Your thoughts
Nor your shoulders to carry me
But will you sit here for a while with me?
Whilst my tears stream
Whilst my heart shatters
Whilst my mind plays tricks on me
Will you with your presence let me know that I am not alone
whilst I wander into my inner unknown?
For my darkness is mine to face
My pain mine to feel
And my wounds are mine to heal
But will you sit with me here
while I courageously show up for it all my dear?
For I am bright because of my darkness
Beautiful because of my brokeness
And strong due to my tender heart
But will you take my hand lovingly
when I sometimes journey into the dark?
I don’t ask you to take my darkness away
I don’t expect you to brighten my day
And I dont believe you can mend my pain
But I would surely love it if you could sit for a while and hold my hand
Until I find a way out of my shadowland
So will you hold my hand until I return again?
