I recognize you
finally
my companion
these months
you have seen
my moments
of fear
regret
delay
as opportunities
to worm back in
stealthy homecoming
the return of the ruler
of my heart
gift from my mother
birthright
I thought I had soared
beyond your reach
I believed my time with butterflies
had been my escape
from you
I believed the Divine
had outshone your greedy hands
yet you pull at my heart
and my heart is pulled under
let’s sit together
one last time
letting tears fall
and pain squeeze through my soul
and tomorrow
we will breathe love
into every ounce of me
and you
so we can fly once more
Lovely…….I’ve had my visits too.
Beautiful post Teresa, thank you for sharing those words <3
Your words cut to the core of truth. We think we have overcome only to be brought crumbling down. Yet we are not in the same spot as before. We have moved so yes, we can fly again. Powerful.
Wow, so tender and beautiful. My heart to yours.
Thanks for sharing your powerful truth.

I love butterflies and I love your verse about the and how you metaphorically linked that to overcoming shame.
Totally awesome.
Infinite Love
Raw and beautiful. I love it! Thanks for sharing.
