Edges singed by flames
of trials past
sweeping away remnants of
doubt
to embrace the fascinating beauty
of my own flesh
swirling with my shadow
to find peace
acceptance.
I'm ready to step gracefully
into love
to be held so preciously
surrendering into
the arms of a gentle, courageous lover
in return offering nothing less than
a reflection of all God's love
from my heart to
yours.
No more
falling
in
love,
walking
hand in hand
instead
the door is open,
I invite you in.
