Opening the Sacred Space

Your heart starts closed off

to protect you and yours.

as someone comes crashing by

Does your heart flutter?

your eyes twitch looking for more

noticing different things than before

the warmth that this person brings

nothing compares.

you feel safe and protected

with your interests in mind

you push back avoiding pain

but the pain still rings through

wishing it didn’t cause betrayal

Opening your heart

racing with worry and anxiety

never knowing how to handle it

Giving someone an ability

to destroy and shatter

everything you know.

trusting them not to

slam your heart to the ground

as you open the sacred space

to something

out of your control.
