Illuminated

By Leah Skinner

Let yourself go with me

Let yourself fall and slip and ooze.

Let me see you

All of the crevices and nooks and hidey places

Let me see you as you are

Let me love you that way

And in turn I will reveal and show and share

All of me.

And we will nurture and nourish each other

Shining light into our dark places

Illuminating them

And in turn

We will relish and delight

In the blooms that follow.
