from our shores we stake out our boundaries at various distances for safety
outside of them we are entrusted to traverse quietly with humility with delicacy
because, when we are lovingly let to draw nearer -
we are allowed to discover the light and life that many of us must leave buried amongst brush and boulders or beneath the sand
quietly hidden from the ravenous wandering souls staring on tempestuous howling storms unconsciously devouring what we haven't tucked away for safe keeping
& with such great gratitude to have that arterial vein willingly with trust opened for you to climb in so you can be let to listen to hear to see to know the most earnest vibrations intricate intimacies the warm heaving and sighing the most sacred temple the most venerable ***** a ventricular vestibule intimating the harshest subtleties & the most visceral visions
