Soul Free

Sometimes,
the universe opens up
and places an unexpected gift in your midst.

A gift I didn’t know I needed—
one that lifted my soul from the depths.
A gift that filled my lungs—
with every breath: love.

Resonating like the ocean tides—
powerful, yet calm.
Beautiful. Mesmerizing.
Ever-changing,
yet beating in perfect rhythm
with life’s unbroken flow.

And then—I catch myself.
I let the self-doubt edge in.
I let the whys come.
I let the walls surround me once again,
building a fortress of protection.

Then, without a word—
you catch me.

Surround me.
Protect me.
Even when chaos looms,
there’s your touch—
a peace that settles.

You—
you have seen me battle.
You walked with me through it.
You have held my heart in your hands.
You’ve spoken truth through the lies I once believed.

I never thought a single touch
could echo through me—
or a look in your eyes
could silence my demons.

I long for those quiet moments—
to exhale,
even if only for a breath.

Thank you for reminding me it’s okay to love,
to trust,
to not always have the answers—
to be myself—
a free wildflower sitting under the sun.

You are my gift from above.
