There are those
who will never be loved
as they could,
hearts that will never be lit
from within
and eyes that will never see
what was meant to be
without you…
Do not hold so tightly
to your past,
or protect yourself
so fiercely
from all risk
that you lose your
ability
to see the possibilities,
to engage with
the mysteries of life,
or feel the whispers of hope
as it swirls around you…
Who will fill
all the spaces in the hearts
you were meant
to love
if you let yourself lose
your capacity to be
the original
intended creation
of you?
