Behind my Smile
More of me knowing more of you Weaving through increasingly familiar paths To the place our souls connect and reconnect Over and over again. The joy this journey gives me unsettles me in equal measure In that space where time stretches or stands still Where you see me raw naked open and broken With all the battle wounds of past hurts throbbing And, you choose to love the fragility I am. Inevitably and irrevocably changing me Healing, restoring and soothing dulling aches. Passion, hope, devotion soars to new heights within me, And the me you increasingly know and love Is reborn radiating that joy in my soul you infused By the mere mention, touch and existence of you And the only hint of this not so small miracle Is the secret behind the smile on my lips and these few words. So, thank you.
