For the Red Lord

upon-the-waters-of-the-heart:

They said you were a storm
and they were right.

I did not expect (accept) that storm
to be one of healing
and grief.

And finally there is
acceptance of who
I am, and even though
I am still learning.

Great of Strength, show me
the ways that I am loved–you are right,
that I have those who’s love for me has no
“if"s, no “you need to be"s.  It’s seeing that love
that is the challenge.
