a hug for the sad part of my heart
only being able to cry when I feel safe
trusting that you can trust someone
the freedom that comes from knowing
that letting go is opening up
to unconditional acceptance
of self and of other
from self and from other
a fucking arrow of love
piercing through me
finding the haven of the soul
within the chest
when somehow space dissipates
and only love is left
and what is love?
it is not grasping
it is not a kiss
nor a fuck
nor a lifetime with one person
who “completes you”
love says
you are enough
you belong in this space
you are worthy of embrace
you are safe
it does not say
you are mine
it says
you are free
you are divine
you are a part of me
because we are all a part
of humankind
and a greater mind
how lost I’ve been
in grappling and coping with hope
how i’ve been found, upside down
suspended by my foot by a rope
seeing the world in a new light
cracking open my mind like an egg
the sunlight splits the mist
in the real world
just as I peer into the light
of my soul
and you’re there with me
and you’re all there with me
it started with a sense
of a soft glow, a soft heart
a soothing subtle warmth
and inherent trust
the heart grows fonder under water
swelling with it all
Becoming its own ocean
it grows heavy
but we are born of breath
and ever air
and light as one could be
the mind is tidal
tumult, earth nestled
a thunderstorm in a closed off room
at times
we are weather before we find
we are forever, shifting, but divine
i doubted, but the signs kept coming
i doubted, but Love did not
Spirit never tarried
and I was never truly lost
a warm wind, northward bound
the sunlight nourishing
evaporating sorrow, creating spring
the sun let seeds sown blossom
i was inundated and exhausted
resting in rain and shade
full of fear that thunder could shake
and split the earth i grew from
but always harboring faith
i grew
it started with a sense of ease
and ended with a shout
in celebration
now my only storms
are joyful tears
quenching earth
