just as I am,
but who am I?
Who am I with you,
who am I without you…
do you see me,
the depths of my soul?
the beat of my heart?
do you hear
my longings,
my yearnings,
the stirring of life
within and
around me?
+
I ask you simply….
freely,
openly…
speaking at last
to myself
without hesitation…
+
do you see me,
really see me?
