"An HSP"

I Feel I am Finding My Own Home
It Rests Within Myself

A Highly Sensitive Person
Is A Different Breed
With Feelings So Deep
That We Cannot Speak
In A Touch, In A Word, In A Tone
That Sings to Us Or Breaks Us
But Does Not Leave Us Weak

A Caution that Takes Everything In
With A Wrench that Twists with Depth
And a Wand That Sparks Magic Inside

We Laugh
We Cry
We Long for a Truth
Someone Who Can Understand
What We Are Going Through

I Have Come to See
And To Tell All of You
That A Highly Sensitive Being
Like You Like Me
Is Certainly Not A Shame
But Truly A Blessing to Be

"My Heart"

You Were Always With Me
Never Far Away
But One Day I Said Goodbye to You
And Locked You Up For Decades

Like a Treasure Lost at Sea
You Were Only Meant to Be Found
You Cried Out To Be Heard
But Harsh Waves of Life
And Crashing Tides of Fear
Multiplied All Your Tears
And I Could No Longer Come Near

The Damp Clumps of Sand
Weighed Heavily On My Feet
And the Coarse Texture of its Grains
Crept in Between My Toes
And Kept Shouting At Me "No!No!No!"
And I Was Washed Ashore

But Somewhere Somehow I Still Heard You
In the Quietness of a Seashell
And Felt You Through
The Calm Light of the Moon
This Led Me to Dive Head First Into An Ocean
Of Cool Midnight Blue

Dark and Scared
I Felt I Was So Alone
But Just Once
I Looked Up Above
To Plea To Something Greater Than Me

When Lightly Touching My Tender Feet
I Felt A Sparkling Ruby
A Radiant Jewel
So Fiery and Bright
And I Knew It Was You This Time

Patiently Waiting
Always Present There Beneath My Feet
Yet The Only Thing
That Stood Between You and Me
Was The Way That I Had Seen.
