My hope for love

I hope one day

You will come to me love

And I will no longer close myself off

In fear

At the calling of my name

I pray that in time

All of this hurt I carry inside

Will be fully known to me

My shadow made manifest

In just such a way

That I have allowed myself to taste so deeply

The bitter truth at its root

And then I hope

When that love comes

I will say a resounding yes

Opening the heart deep inside my chest

Allowing this healing river of love to flow in

As my own river flows out

Merging itself totally

Deep within the ocean

Of someone else
