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.
