seeing

If you come close, and quiet
You’ll get to see the healing you need
You shall find it reflected within me

Need affection?
These arms are reassurance enough

Need humor
Talk to me for a while
and you’ll brighten as you make yourself smile

want to paint?
Watch the landscape fill with color
As you dare to draw your thoughts before me

Want safety
I see the rocks are nowhere near as you think
And as you are allowed to be, with me,
The light turns on, and somehow you see it too.

You’ll see what you need to, within me
I often wonder if you truly see me

But I guess you don’t
Or I guess you do

Because you see yourself
And I am you
Too.
