Having seen the beauty
underneath,
I feared I might
have to leave —
to choose to stand again
on the surface.
And so I continued on
until it became clear
that there was
really nothing to fear
and nothing to choose —
only love.

This Emerging Love
I began to notice
the quieter,
natural kind of joy
that came
out of the most
subtle shifting
of my own heart.
And I knew it was
safe to trust
in the unfolding
of my own path
and yours
and in this
emerging love.
Real Magic
And so life became
a little more magical
with each tiny surrender
as I learned to trust —
as I remembered
the real magic within.
Waiting For Words
One day I found
my thoughts
had begun to fall
too quickly.
And so I tossed
them all
back up
and waited
for words to come
down again
a little more slowly —
a little more gently —
a little more directly
into the emptiness
of me.
Gently
And so I began
to trust
my own heart
to interpret
all that was unclear —
to allow the pieces
to fall back down
gently —
in a way I could understand.
Naturally
The time came
to turn around
and search for the one
in me
that could hold
all of the rest —
naturally.
Daring To Wait
My heart chose
to linger
a little longer,
to listen
a little more reverently —
to be moved
by tenderness —
daring always to wait
for the next step to appear
in that mysterious place
of in-between.
No Words
Though my heart knew
there were no words
to describe,
it found comfort
in the pausing,
in the listening
and waiting
to hold
just one whisper
a little closer —
in remembrance
of its own unspeakable love.
Where Love Shines Most Brightly
Let my heart
be light —
that it may be carried
though the challenges
of this life
and set down gently
in the hidden,
secret places
where love shines
most brightly.
Amen.
Where Magic Never Left
One day I remembered
a simpler place
where thoughts
are gathered up
like flowers
and set down
without worry,
that unexplored place
of in-between,
where few were brave enough
to stay
and magic never left.
