Vulnerable

The warmth of vulnerability has wrapped itself around Its glow enlightens the void where sunshine once was found Engulfed in possibility my heart it aches to breathe Neither mountain air nor flailing chest provide it what it needs The reverence of maybe fills lungs as they expand Exhale as I relinquish myself into your hands As the wax on wings of Icarus my conscious thoughts do melt Love not what’s seen and heard but instead what can be felt Do not imprison Your water behind a dam to make a lake Heave the floodgates open let the rushing waters quake If in time you find your lake is running dry look up to the Heavens to pray for a moistened sky Fear not of drowning Make it be on God you call Only then is it safe to close your eyes and fall
