Stalagmite Heart

Kept from me no longer
The understanding in his loins
The breath
that ignites the fire within.
Kindling.
Was I sleep walking so long?
You flipped the ship.
Fear
constrained me.
But your spirit
went before you,
Showing me
who you are.
Character formed
By genuine,
radical, love.
Forged through the fire.
Dripping in gold.
I receive it
Breathlessly
Washing.
My arms open.
What I feared,
I released
Because
You are worthy of trust.
And as I opened my eyes,
The flat plains of my heart
Transformed.
Stalagmite Pillars
stairways
reaching
Formed from waves
you drip
