A Step of Faith
Rain pounded at the window,
Much like my heart hammered loudly in my chest,
No boundaries…complete openness
A beautifully terrifying offer,
A heart felt offer from a protective soul
Entwined with my own to the very vulnerability in
The core of my being,
The strength required to take that one step,
To accept this all inclusive gift with hands wide open,
Seemed almost too far,
Yet that ever present strength encouraged,
Arms wide open,
So with one breath I ask the thing I most need to hear the answer to,
Please,
Please don’t hurt my heart,
You have the power to do more damage than any other…
Silence deafens for a moment…
Before,
I could never hurt you,
And all the chaotic storms in my chest calmed,
For I knew this was a soul I could trust,
Completely.
