Believing in You

You are larger than life, but for once I am unafraid and
my spirit surges out in front of me, rushing to meet
you walking across the water toward me
without presumption, filled only
with humility and love.

I falter, of course, and expect you to watch me drown, but
echoes of graciousness emanate from your kind heart
and resultant hope lifts me. My own heart imagines
my eyes have found yours in the dark and
I step out over open water.

I want to run to you and journey with you beyond
this world I know. I want to live within the warmth
that quells all fear and stops my shivering. I want
to see myself as you have seen me, beautiful.
I want to risk loving only, always you.

This clarity of vision will guide you through your life and onto the next level when the time is correct. There is strength beyond your own in this bond and you will feel yourself grow stronger the more you place your trust and love in Him.
Take care,
Sherry

Keep looking up into those eyes of belief and affirmation and do not doubt - either the reality of what is being communicated or the truth of it about your own dear self. We indeed walk upon the waters when self-love and the ability to receive the good others sow into us is paramount. And, in so doing, it gets to become almost a habit as we place one tentative foot in front of another, day by day. The waters become firm under our feet as long as we don't look down! Could warble on all day here, Dawn, this is so inspirational and button-pressing. Yes, dare to believe that we are beautiful... Love it! TY Kate xx

Love truly is a risk, but one truly worth taking, Dawn.

A very evocative poem, the narrator is transplanted right in the first line. A search, a quest is expressed so well in these lines.

first believe in yourself then risk will become a mere steeping stone across the waters of fear and love will inevitably float its way across the surface of your heart ... your poems continue to grow in insight, direction and emotional revelation ... keep it up!
