Open to Love

It takes great strength

To remain open to love

Fear causes us to close

Hands clenched tightly

Can I count on you

Open is my heart to your true need to travel your days intact since OCD exacts an unknown universe

Turning you inward towards a small life nevertheless you are alive counting the hours the birds while the distant clouds call

You can count on me

Open is my heart to your need to travel your days intact with integrity and right choices placing your choices just so

I understand I wait for you without knowing if you will return from the place you go to

The prayer of an open heart is mine like the small bird on the perch trusting one second at a time
