Safe
Safe Moon shine Peeking through. Across my hand. Silver glimmer Promise of Clarity Warmth Beauty. Softly, gently Slowly. With great trepidation. Fingers rake the folds. A ray of light Hope? Fear. If I show my hand. My greatest weakness. Expose my heart. Will I Be shot down? Again? Trust myself? I dare not. For so often I have been wrong. All I know of love Is that it hurts to give. to receive. Safe on my shores Is where you’ll find me. Releasing fabric. Stepping back Into the dark Once more. DRH Copyright Donna R Hedges 2021
