Dare To Love
………………………………………………………………….
When were you last there…
Or have you ever been there ?
To the space reserved in the
hearts of us all,
For the element that makes us
complete and whole,
But where few have been
fortunate enough to venture.
Do you know of this space I speak of…
Have you had the courage to let love
take you there ?
Or perhaps you've not yet been swept away,
By the flow of emotional unity and passion,
Pulling you from the banks of fear…
or skepticism,
Into the current…carrying you away.
Are you immune to the call of intimacy…
Where your soul is left hanging for another to see ?
Vulnerable and bare, like the branches of a willow,
Caught in the blow of an unexpected freezing rain.
Or are you warmed by the winds of faith ?
I can see your confidence and strength,
And the glow from your face as you smile,
Yet without trying, I see your fear…
That feeds your need for independence,
Unwilling to join forces with another.
My heart's eyes watch closely,
For a sign of submission,
And willingness to truthfully speak from your heart…
About the desires you feel,
Rather than thoughts from your mind.
I can see it all for what it is…
And respect you for how you walk your path…
So cautiously while you give without expecting,
As you shower those close to you with love,
So unselfishly…so compassionately.
Do not hide in the fortress of comfort,
That has proven safe and secure,
If you go to your grave without realizing
the needs of your heart,
your spirit will return…seeking the same.
Do not be wrapped in fear…
Do it in this lifetime…
My love is real…not imagined,
Trust what I have proved over time…
Do it with me.
