Holding me in her gaze; ⠀⠀
The focus is steady, unwavering . . .
⠀⠀
I feel seen. And known.
⠀⠀
Fear creeps in, but alas, it has always been; I realize I cannot escape it,
⠀⠀
But I can face it, Look it in its eye.
⠀⠀
Staring into the mouth of hell, It’s not so scary anymore.
⠀⠀
Now…a crack in the seam I behold. ⠀
⠀
Something breaks open outside of me,
⠀⠀
Something cracks within…
⠀⠀
An outpouring of light.
⠀⠀
It wasn’t that I’d never let it in. The truth – I’d never let Her out.
⠀⠀
Now the Guardians stand watch.
⠀⠀
I am not alone, nor have I ever been. ⠀
⠀
The Rocks rise up to meet my feet, ⠀
⠀
Answering the call of my heart’s song that I’ve finally let Her sing. ⠀
⠀
The Beauty is now blinding, ⠀
⠀
But I can finally see. ⠀
⠀
Open up the Gates of Faery—I’M COMING OUT!
