"I think you are beautiful,
but you are beyond what I think
deeper than I know, wiser than you show...
within you is a path less choosen
...but I choose it, hidden and scared
I choose the uncharted you
the frail and bewidered you
I choose the fragile depths of your soul-scape
to nurture the beauty beyond thought
beyond all shallow wisdom
I commit to this wild uncertain passage
with compassionate understanding
rising from the ashes...a new union
as the phoenix, unscathed and unscared."
