all of it

the beauty of this moment
is that it doesn’t think much of itself
all it knows is that it is
and it is again and again and again

and maybe this isn’t a conversation
so much as an exploration
of what happens when
grace steps in
and you can’t remember its name
but you recognize it
you know it

and it touches you
softly
sweetly
it moves across your heart
in a way that makes you tingle
and goose bump
and shiver

and it feels like it’s gotten cold
and you want to cover up
and you want to find a warmer spot

and you want to move away

but this moment doesn’t want anything more
than to hold you closer
to love you in all of the ways
that make you want to reveal
it all

all of your skin
all of your stories
all of your shivers

all of it
and more

this moment traces
the lines of who you really are
who you've always been

and grace lingers
and whispers, “Beauty.”

and you nod into the moment
that is
again and again
