great teacher

posted on: 9.20.2018

you will be a lifelong lesson

one that teaches me self compassion

one that teaches me the art of letting go

one that teaches me that I am good

that calm is good

why my tendency is to make waves 

why my tendency is to muddy waters 

why my tendency is to ruffle feathers

that true intimacy exists

that I don't need to be scared

that communication is possible

that someone can be devoted

that chivalry, however dated it may be, is not dead

you will be a lifelong lesson

a great teacher 

of my unknown

one who allowed me to clear

the cobwebs and the dust 

and ultimately

the fear.
