I never felt unloved by you,
it was there like a shared, sacred
vibration in the air, merged in hugs,
laughter, shared graces.
It’s the outpouring that has washed me
off my stalwart stance, feeling both
its surge and undertow as I try to
catch the next wave of change
coming in, and wanting to ride the crest.
I know I am not in control of this
condition. Instead, I exercise beliefs
not challenged before, to bear witness
to who I truly am, and this condition
is not me. I affirm me and let the
condition die off, as it will.
I do crave your riding this wave with
me. My position is different than that
we’ve been conditioned to feel & express
in this world.
Will you walk with me?
