I feel beginnings all around me
I am not afraid
but am I living in reality?
Can you make your own reality?
I have
I have had to.
so happy so excited so happy so excited so happy so excited so happy so excited

Your hand so softly touched my face and my cheek thawed
you are thawing me
I probably will keep re-freezing until I feel safe...
will you stay by my banks and look for your reflection in my waters?
will you lay your hands upon my frozen body and feel me as I melt?
the outline of your fingers in me, on me, reminding me you are there until I am free of fear and flowing freely alongside you.
