CRADLED WITHIN

Time playing with my mind
Heart strings painting my soul
Seeing so much so clearly feeling
Again a rainbow of colors strewn

I see so many choices possibilities
Letting in now not pushing away
Tears you hear, see for the first time
Depths so bare and true my hues

Gently be with me see me through
Faith in your kindness and care for me
Trying so desperately not to flee run away
Stripping away all the walls facing the fears

How to be weak and seek comfort so new
Not always sure how to let go and let you in
Such a sensitive creature stands before you
Wondering why it took so long to trust again

Being held with such gentle strength
My femme heart cradled within healing
Knowing the precious moments shared
Sweetly my defenses come down in your care

Exchanging our truth letting each other in deep
Finding a balance in all that we share so rare
Seeing the soul healing the pain with kindness
Our friendship shed light where there was blindness
