Delicate Beauty
Why
Were you hiding in the shadows?
What course took you to hide your
Flame?
Was it the lash of
Father’s tung?
The flash of muzzle fire
Spit from disapproval
The fear of death
Induced by pain?
Delicate Beauty
I am here
To help you
See life again
To help you flourish
In the shelter of these strong arms
To provide love
To those parts of you
Long abused
Now infused
With giant force
Of intricate
Fierce knowing
You once knew
And now...
Bloom into
As an adult
Full of radiance
Full of your power
Full of your own right to be
The Beauty
You you wish to see
