For Susan
I feel a vivid force arrive
It enters me
Climbs all over
Swims inside me
Alive and it flows from you
Given with your power of restraint
An understanding
It combs through my emotional longings
Awakening my species of gratitude
Arriving before I invite it
An overwhelming visitor
Hearing my raw voices
Connecting fibers of my wild desire
Melting anxious uncertainty
Into a binding alloy
That feels love
Living in your soft skin
Where fears and failures
Guide broken confidence
To a safety of new wholeness
Rising into an unspoken poetry
Living in the spaces
Where magic is born
Between your inspired words
This vivid force
Magnifies
My heart’s gratitude
And comes and comes
Like a precious spirit
Surrounding me with your love
