How Love Moves

 


I feel my heart beat on, and guide me through the day.

It knows no bounds of birth, or name, or shade of skin.

I walk my path unjudged by eyes that turn away.

It says I stand enough, just as I have been seen.


Love finds me first in quiet acts I almost miss:

A hand that stays, a voice that lets my breathing slow.

I learn my worth in moments small, but held like this-

No grand display, just time that says I get to grow.


I dream, at times, of roots set deep beneath our feet;

A home made warm by laughter left along the hall.

I want a life where shared returns make days complete,

Where holding fast means choosing both the rise and fall.


Then comes the turn, when something in me asks for air:

A wider sky, a step beyond familiar ground.

I loosen knots of love with honesty and care,

Not fleeing what we were, but what I must be found.


So I let change arrive, and trust the pace it keeps.

I bless the forms that love has taken in my life.

I listen close to what my steady heart still speaks;

It leads me whole through joy and loss, through peace and strife.
