Words that spilled from
longing
are silenced by
fruition
as dreams balance on the brink
of realization.
Speechless,
I am at last
truly eloquent.

Gazes lock and
yearning answers yearning.
I stand amazed
as need unfolds
within this sweet contentment.
Homesick,
I am at last
truly home.

Caring jars me to my core,
an earthquake of awareness,
a certainty that moves me:
my heart is at your
mercy.
I watch my hopes;
they nestle in your hands,
so happy to be vulnerable.
Shaking,
I am at last
truly brave.
