Poetry
Thankyou
Thankyou for supporting
my fifteen step dance *-
Creating the circumstance
For healing to occur -
Willing to share my
Tentative moves
Exploring, unleashing,
Deep issues of care:
Opened your arms and held
While my body cried
With relief, and yelled
Inside for freedom.
Thankyou for empathy holding
Gently coaching as injured heart
Let go, unfurled, open and tender
A flag of deep surrender.
