offerings

i offer vulnerability,

like a hand,

hoping to meet yours

at the corner of love & understanding

like a popsicle in the summer,

i drip love,

sticking with you,

adding layers to your sweetness,

coating your mind in the bliss of being

i introduce compassion,

a friend,

longing to meet you

in the place you are

softly hugging your shoulders,

i wrap you in understanding,

like a homemade quilt

patched with reminders of your resilience

cloaking you in arms of love,

I embrace you,

wearing nothing but our souls
