I wonder within myself discovering beauty which I long to offer someone outside of the walls that define who I am. I cultivate and prune and pull out the thorns where I can. Seeking water, I thirst, refreshing areas I once held back from the wells of joy. Opening up, I let you in.
There is a strength in your eyes that dare me to look deeper. Discovering flecks of gold, I notice where pain weaved character into your gaze, now glinting hope upon my face. I let the light illuminate me from the inside out. Unveiling the warm hues I too posses, I urge you to keep looking in. Deeper still.
The tapestry we creatively work and welcome to blend, is a compilation of the best and he worst of each of us. A masterpiece where measurement and judgement fall short to describe it. I realise we are incomplete without one another and dare trust that our togetherness will never rip the best parts away from what makes us all together lovely.
In times of trail and within moments where tears water our souls, I dare cherish the times where we can trust we will make it through victorious. Each committed to call forth courage and honour, covering over all things intending harm. Individually and collectively we are pillars of triumph braced against the storms of life and loss. Joy is our rear guard.
Ebbing and flowing in the art of giving and receiving a balance, that cultivates mutual fortitude, we embrace. Whispering words together knowing even when pain comes, you're okay and I'm okay, we're okay together.
