Love

So much beauty and love has past. It has been born and grown and laughed and thrived and brought so much joy that it has split me open.

And now, from that opening, my heart has learned to love.

It can’t be fooled by notions of ‘shoulds’ and ‘right ways’ and ‘only ways’.

I know now that love breaks open those boxes, and shows me what I could not have imagined.

I know now to trust it’s wings… because it will always carry me home.
