Open Invitation

This is something I’ve been working on, not judging myself for my feelings, for how I find happiness in connecting to other people. It’s a work in progress, but sometimes I’m in a good place and can write a poem like this.

Open Invitation

My heart grows more certain

when the door’s left open for

all the different types of love,

for creatures, people, pieces of life

to warm themselves around

my hearth

and grow strong in

their equal shares of esteem

and care, from the open door of

my heart.
