this year's birthday poem...
as the layers peel back
as the hard edges soften
as the belly relaxes
as pure energy becomes apparent
as tenderness embraces what is
letting go
letting go
letting go
catching a glimpse that fear is no rival
not for the deepest thing
not for that which holds it all
real love is underneath
surrounding
holding
transforming
all that is not love
upon sensing this
trust pervades the heart
