For a while

Life allows

Us hidden

In repose

For a while

We remain closed 

Winter and her quiet

Eventually melts

Gives way

One day, sun

Pours her warmth through the shadows

Something within

Starts to unsettle

Wishing to burst

A thirst

For more life

Though we haven’t forgotten her cost

Though we may still feel lost

Something within

in awakening defiance

Begins to unravel

Our shields

Our plans

And begins a reveal

We won’t be enabled

to forever remain sealed

Far too important that we be healed 

Healthy water

Radiant light

The right conditions will heal and invite

The within, of

beauty, wholeness, and power

To pour forth in dignity,

To rise to life’s hour.

Be held, dear beloved,

Let light sing you forth

The risk to blossom,

To unfurl

To love

Uncurl

Is a gift to us all

In this brutiful abundant world.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

- Anais Nin
