Large holes fully ripened in my brain
With cruel thoughts eating
& tearing away at it
While I sat there & let it happen
Because, really, what could I do?
When I didn't follow my intuition
Like I was told
& as I sat there on that rainy park bench
You came in like a fluid dream
A heavy breath after a marathon
Pulling me in & kissing my forehead
While I watched as those cruel thoughts
Scurried away like frightened spiders
& a warm wind blew
& a blinding light shone from the Heavens
The rain became light flowers
Falling gracefully to the ground
Everything became a movie in slow motion
& you smiled, reaching for my hand
& the touch of your skin on mine
was electrifying
Sparkling, dazzling, warming
& at that moment I noticed his pale blue eyes
Reflecting mine when I smiled
Then my face cracked like dry clay
From a thousand years of sitting still
I shed from my skin
Stepping out of it like an animal in the wild
I was breaking free one second at a time
& what a glorious feeling it was
However, there are no words
To properly thank you
But I do, thank you
Truly
