To Stay open

Stay open

Even when the winds of countless

Past lives and loves

Sucking you into contraction, to

Stay safe

Don’t lose your guards

You can trust,

Until you can’t.

It’s an imaginary threshold you’ve

Never dared to cross before.

You stare at the horizon lines.

You might retreat, you might

Attempt to jump.

You just fall.

And then again. Stay open

Let the heart expand.

In the middle of the storm

As the waves wash you, and

You think you can’t take it

Anymore,

When the tides of forgotten memories

Attack your best wishes and will,

Stay open. Don’t fall.

Unless

You fall in Love.
