It was the way you held my uncertainty,

My softening heart,

The energy that flows

Through me with the force

Of a tsunami some days.

Yes, it was the way you held me

That made me see I didn’t

Have to hide from the galaxies

Bursting inside of me.

And maybe that was the whole

Point of the patterns we had weaved.

You, finally getting me to feel

The power of this love

Pulsing deep at the root of me.
