I tried to explain
how I felt so seen by you
so revealed so heard
I felt touched
embraced from the inside
as I said it
tears filled my eyes
You asked what tears
are these and why
I know precisely
why this sweet release
has me so unsteady
I’ve waited years
to feel fully ready
Not in a long time
so long I’d forgotten
how vast and large
heart energy
was meant to be
intense and alive
infinite and wise
Today my heart let go
my chest released a sigh
my heart broken open
not broken broken
emparted wings free to soar
unencased at last
available activated once more
Broken wide open
for this heart a loving space
sacred real connected
a resting place
a takeoff and landing zone
tenderness reclaimed
strong vulnerable home
