So here I am
standing at the precipice of
my greatest fear,
heart cracked open
waves with no shore
to crash upon,
calling out to Aphrodite
to wrap me in her grace.
And still
a strange clarity emerges
rising to greet my shadow
welcome it
to this vulnerable place
where all my demons
are out to play.
A faint whisper
to know love, is worth the risk.
And bursting forth
a resilient heart
that despite its ragged
bruised edges
refuses to close.
A tender and raw heart
that is willing to shine,
willing to be seen,
its capacity for love
expanding
into newly formed cracks.
I surrender.
Releasing it all to
the sweet Earth
back to the source
from which it came
to be composted,
transformed
into nourishment
for new dreams.
What
an
incredible
gift.
