Public

I won't forget how to love

just because you left.

The point of what I come to know,

it is no gift nor test.

Love happens when the heart grows wide

and comes, because it can.

I never bought the book on it.

Love itself expand.

I took the risk to let come in

to my very soul

the feelings that, until the time,

were masked by my control.

I'm lifting up my face to this

new concept of divine.

No longer wear upon my breast

the armor which was mine.

As well I've dropped the many masks,

all properties which foil.

I take a shot at letting go

the fear my dark side spoil.

And I am not ashamed of it.

I did and will again,

take the risk to let love call

my fearless hopeful name.

And I will love again.

If in its great expansion

my heart with growth feel pain,

yet I will lift my face to it.

Again and again and again.
