Won’t you come out

Today?

I want to play!

——-

It took me ages to share,

My shell too tight,

To linger longer.

That near death,

Broke it to pieces,

Though I was left raw,

And running,

I finally found space,

To share outside a cave.

~~~~~~

Yet, you demand I play silent,

Just like you!

Still in hiding?

But it doesn’t serve you…

Nor will my avoidance of sharing.

Truth and connection,

Requires raw raptures,

Bursting through barriers,

Built to maintain avoidance.

As that was needed for safe.

~~~~~~~~

When will you decide to be here now,

Free of baggage carried around,

Of trying to control the other,

Per your own expectations?

Their pain your reminder?

Let it.

Feel it to the core,

Cry with them as you too purge.

Suddenly all a little lighter,

Movement into flexible,

As the stone skin

Rubbles away.

Living water,

Here to stay.
