| 5 1/2 Hours by � vision_wolf When you knocked upon my door I was terrified That you might leave again And never return- taking my hopes with you And all my small shoots of dreams. I was shaking and unsure Not having any idea How to speak to you without touch How to make my voice say what it had no words for. Dear Gods I was scared Of saying something so private and stupid That the look on your face might relect All the disdain I felt For myself. You surprised me By listening and arguing and working Toward the understanding of me That I didn't think you wanted. You shocked me By staying In spite of my halting and inarticulate frustration- In spite of your exasperation And my trepidation. You remained on my couch And held my eyes No matter how my embarrassment pushed my Mute buttons And left me near tears. You stunned me and threw me Off balance for a loop out the window of expectation By smiling when I waited for censure. In spite of myself In spite of my feeling of uncertainty You give me So many shattering glass solid stone reasons To trust you. Vision Wolf, who learned a few things last night |
