the power of vulnerability

To stand unguarded, heart laid bare,
it is to offer the truest form of care
in the quiet moments when defenses fall,
we find the strength to give our all

Support is not in words alone,
but in the touch that makes love known
a hand that holds, a tear that’s shared,
speaks louder than the loudest prayer

In understanding, we find our place,
in the tender lines of another’s face
for in their eyes, a mirror shines,
reflecting the love that gently binds

Vulnerability, the sacred key,
unlocks the door to empathy
it’s in the cracks, the open seams,
where healing flows like whispered dreams

To be seen, to be heard, to be known,
it is the greatest gift we’ve ever shown
for in the space where we are real,
the wounds we hide begin to heal

So let us honor the courage it takes,
to show our souls, to let them break
for in that breaking, love pours through,
and makes us whole, makes us new—
