Relationship - isms . . .

Every one's afraid of getting hurt. So are we really just a big group of chickens (so eloquently put!)
But . . . I think it's true.
We let our guard down for a moment, just to feel what it's like - then after a deep inhale realize that we're open, vulnerable and are able to feel it all. Our heart is on the line, emotions are clear on our sleeve.
It becomes too real; then just like that, the walls go up and you're protected once again. It's like wearing your favorite fuzzy sweater - the cold can not come in and no heat can come out!
You are in fact Protected.


Breathe
Turning inward
Eyes cast out to sea
Gentle winds
Caressing me
Breathe
Just breathe
Thoughts drift
Wash away
Despite me
Lonely
Mountains suspend
Stoic, majestic
Tops to invisible to see
Rescue me
Stand by seaside cliffs
Stones lose their balance and slip
Stumble once
Catch yourself
Not alone
Just an outcast
Breathe
Just breathe
Listen to your body speak
