As a lightning strikes
down right at your bare feet
dripping
you await -
calm -
The thunder

You look at Yourself, at what you are, how soft you feel, how gentle - and you think - can that be can that really be here -  and you start growing around Yourself grow around until every inch of this gentleness is now
protected until
every cell and non-cell knows
You are supposed to be exactly this way and right here where you are
until you intertwine
with what you protect
know it inside out and
embody it without
hiding without thinking without
fear
Just
Being what you always were

It feels worthwhile now
Dear
to not fear
open doors and
windows

It feels
worthwhile to let
the

Sun

shine

in

Do you
Make Yourself
Bigger
Do you
Make Yourself the Place
That you call Home

Your shield and sword merge
into one thing being
a dead sure
statement
you can
uphold
eternally

Imagine
with every inch of skin and every
wondrous bone
Your body serves you
Imagine every
Beat of the Heart every new
pumping of blood
happens
for you to thrive
