Unfurl
I am unfurled by you.
Petals of my tight bud of life, unlived
loosen, lighten, open
unfurl into a blossom
beautiful
My God, so breathtakingly beautiful
I am blinded by the saltwater tears
of relief, freedom, of vulnerability
suffocating from losing my breath
losing my breath so I can catch it again
for the first time, breathing
inhaling you, filling my lungs with you
and exhaling an impressive chrysalis that held me close
gracefully unfurling my wings to you
Petals of my tight bud of life, unlived
loosen, lighten, open
unfurl into a blossom
beautiful
My God, so breathtakingly beautiful
I am blinded by the saltwater tears
of relief, freedom, of vulnerability
suffocating from losing my breath
losing my breath so I can catch it again
for the first time, breathing
inhaling you, filling my lungs with you
and exhaling an impressive chrysalis that held me close
gracefully unfurling my wings to you
