The Turning Point…
let go your fear
as it falls
beautiful, be still
this untangling of it all
let your bones fill with might
let your lungs fill with free
don’t look back.

my care full heart…
i’m learning to be more careful with
my care full heart, and to care less for
the ones who are careless with it

it could be something beautiful…
i never knew…
because they didn’t want me to know…
that it’s spiritual. touch is spiritual.
passion is spiritual. soul to skin…
it’s. all. spiritual.
they never told me that it could be beautiful.
that i’m beautiful. that you’re beautiful.
and all of that heat and heart
and wild intensity… it’s. beautiful.
and little by little, i’m trying to trade in
shame and fear and just let myself feel
all the things i’ve never let myself feel.
maybe then it could be something… beautiful.

chosen by no one, but me.

but if it’s love,
when it asks you to come along,
it will not ask you to leave yourself behind…
love won’t ask you to be less. of. yourself.
it will invite you to become more and more of you,
to step into all of you.

you’re not getting this all wrong;
being human is really hard, and things hurt
so much because you’re made of stuff that’s so
much better than this place. so it’s ok to barely
even know how to be human sometimes…
just take it from one breath to the next.
you’re just a soft spirit
in a hard world.
