Trust, a gift easier given than found
in myself, I learned safety only in
your arms, calm in your care, belief in your
abilities, not my own. Not knowing
and not caring to self-soothe, I craved the
embrace that brought peace to my crowded mind;
your support saved me. Yet in the quiet
unique to that shared solace, trust found a
way to grow inside me: the tiny voice
of my heart learning to beat in spite of
being broken-winged. I found a new ease
in my embrace of you, a safety in
this knot we tied together to face the
world as one: a light to end my darkness.
