comfort

let simple tenderness
be enough for now

slowly
slowly
slowly

rediscover what it means
to trust
to have a willingness
to be held

to know that it
is necessary
to let walls down
and embrace

to know that
to have contact
is, at times,
a matter
of survival

to know that
at times
the only way
to survive
is to bare
our selves
and be vulnerable

slowly
slowly
slowly

the passion
will find
its way back

and hopefully
have a place
in a greater
wholeness
