STRIPPED DOWN
Rain falling down all around
Moving thru doubt uncertainty
To find a cleansing wash over
Honesty truth stripped down
Raw and true such it is with you
No place to hide anything anymore
So honest and splayed so open
Being so emotionally free to be
Laying it on the line so clearly
Fire in such openness such clarity
Depth and our lasting maturity
Sensed seen expressed with care
Water cooling soothing doubts fears
Somehow making it thru any tears
Finding a simple comfort in whole
Understanding plentiful and sweet
No reason to run hide and retreat
Learning and continuing to do so
Strength found in true expression
Easier to do in comfort with you
Seeing hearing sensing saying what is
No running no hiding just standing
In utter shock of such strength
Before me a woman real, deep
Who can meet me in such a place
Intense tough sweet healing caring
A gift to be cherished in honest sharing
And I am moved once again....
