I wonder if a healthy
Self-aware love
Will wander into a
Life filled with past
Heartbreak, traumas, and
Transformations.
✦
Am I whole enough
And brave enough to
Receive an enduring
Tenderness, softness,
Affection, and generous
Spirit?
✦
Have I cultivated
Enough self-love
Self-Worth to even begin
To match yours?
✦
Love attracts love.
Like attracts like.
Whole intersects with whole
To find the intersection of us.
✦
Our love aligns with our
Internal and external ways of
Processing the world
In our values, our deep
Listening, sharing,
Our humor and laughter
Our six languages.
✦
In your eyes I see myself
All the way down and inside out
I feel your peace and dignity
Your confidence and grace
Because I embrace my own.
✦
Lovely heart butterflies land softly
On this hand
That gives away
Quiet kindness, compassion,
And affection with ease and
Abandon.
✦
I didn’t require a sign
From God,
Yet I receive one
With delight, surprise, and
An overflowing gratitude.
Love aligns
In the resilience
Of this sturdy foundation
And the lightness
Of fragile beauties
That broke free
From a puddle and a struggle
Inside a cocoon of creation.
I feel your peace and dignity
Your confidence and grace
Because I embrace my own……. When we are at peace in life it makes it easier to accept the love of others and give in return. I love this poem.
