VULNERABILITY
I love vulnerability
It's the tenderness of the heart
Showing itself
Peering through the mask
It whispers
'I'm not as strong as I pretend to be.'
What greater beauty is there than this
I thought it was something
I had to deny and push away
I thought there was something wrong
But then I realized it was my gift
And I could welcome it
And even show it to the world
And it changed everything
Vulnerability is where the light comes in.

ps. Happy Friday and have a great weekend. Thank you so much for reading and supporting my poetry as I amble and ramble through the human condition. I hope it brings some healing balm to your heart and sometimes stimulates a deeper inquiry. My only aim is to bring beauty to life - Kavi
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
