The Love that is Acceptance


You entered the door to my heart
and you stepped in.
I let you
into my mind
in the landscape saturated 
of all that I am.
You tasted the essence 
of the turmoil,
you savored 
my struggle
dangling at your feet.
You did not run,
you did not turn away,
instead you stood like
a sunflower reaching for the sun.

    I love the images your words bring to mind and heart especially....

    'in the landscape saturated
    of all that I am.'

    That is a beautiful and trusting love....

    So beautiful, when one stands strong, "like a sunflower reaching for the sun." A gift.
