(For Andrea)
She speaks of the uncertainty of her words
But when reading her writing I sense nothing but a quality
of determination.
She admits that sometimes she wrestles with insecurities
But I sense nothing but a warrior princess who understands
the intricacies of peace.
A place of apprehension can too easily stop you in your
tracks
And a place of apprehension can leave you wide open to
unnecessary attacks.
Lowering your guard is not always the smart move especially
when you are not entirely sure who to trust.
I was on a rocket ship heading toward the moon before I
finally came to grips with the caterpillar astronaut inside and why gazing at
the stars is not always the healthiest of pastimes.
When she speaks I listen because her truth is impossible to
disavow in these days of red herrings and smoking cellphones.
If she told me to go underground I would buy a shovel and
start digging because that’s how much I trust her instincts and know she’d
never lead me astray.
There is a higher truth that is very much feminine not
masculine and don’t let anyone tell you different.
A place of apprehension can be overcome if you only muster
up the courage to swim against the rising tide and always pay attention to your
innermost spark.
