Feeling Another Person's Safety
In the quiet moments beneath a canopy of stars,
I stand beside you, the world hushed around us,
A tapestry of night sewn with silver threads,
And I feel the weight of your presence,
Like an anchor in the depths of an ocean,
Steady, unwavering, a lighthouse guiding me home.
The air is thick with a peculiar magic,
A breath mingled with the smell of pine and earth,
And I notice how your shoulders rise and fall,
How your fingers, relaxed, embrace the fabric of night,
As if holding onto something sacred,
Something fragile we dare not disturb.
I feel your safety swirling in the stillness,
A soft cocoon wrapping us in trust,
In the unspoken understanding that we are here,
Together, under this vast expanse,
Where the cosmos sings lullabies,
And the moon cradles us like a cherished secret.
Time becomes a lazy river,
Flowing gently, stretching like shadows,
We sit in our shared silence,
With words tumbling between us like leaves,
Each one a whisper, each one a promise,
That we are safe, deeply rooted in this shared stillness.
In moments like these, I recognize presence,
It radiates from you like warmth from a fire,
The flames flicker, dance, casting our lives in relief,
Illuminating the contours of trust we’ve built,
Brick by brick, laughter by laughter,
Cemented with the shared breaths of comfort.
Your laughter, a symphony that melts barriers,
An embrace that curls around my insecurities,
I feel your safety like the ground beneath my feet,
Strong, resilient, unyielding against the uncertainty of storms,
And with every shared giggle, I see the horizon widen,
Opening paths where fear once held me captive.
And as the night deepens,
I trace the stories etched in your weary eyes,
A constellation of moments lost,
Yet here you are,
A beacon of hope, tethering me to the light,
And I revel in the freedom our connection ushers forth,
What unbreakable bonds we forge when the heart lays bare.
We are two stars spinning within our galaxy,
Each flicker a memory, a laugh, a shared dream,
The gentle heartbeat of companionship rings true,
I feel, with an urgency that pulses through the air,
The sacred bond of knowing you are safe,
And in this knowing, I find my solace.
Together we navigate the terrain of vulnerability,
Climbing unreachable peaks of discussed fears,
Crossing bridges built from trust,
Where your presence envelops me,
Like a warm cloak on a winter’s night,
Warding off the chill of loneliness and doubts.
In the hum of city streets or the stillness of a forest,
Your safety wraps around me like a mother’s embrace,
It comforts like a familiar song whispering through reeds,
Every note woven into the very fabric of our shared breaths,
Where chaos can’t reach, where darkness can’t bear,
The light we’ve spun, our laughter draped in moonbeams.
The sun’s first blush paints the horizon,
With hues of peach and gold,
And in that tender twilight, I feel a shift,
Your presence, a steady pulse against time’s relentless march,
With you, I am buoyant, untethered from fear,
A seraph amidst the storm clouds of life.
We bid goodbye to night and greet the dawn,
With wings of hope unfurling beneath the sun,
Each ray touches the skin, a gentle reminder of warmth,
I feel your energy wrap around my heart,
Like a tether binding us amidst the wind’s wild dance,
Each gust, a promise of safe harbors yet to come.
And in the bustle of everyday life,
With laughter spilling over like cupfuls of joy,
I feel your spirit entwined in mine,
A harmonious melody, a flowing river of purpose,
Each moment an echoing assurance that we belong,
In this vast world, two travelers, journeying side by side.
As seasons shift, and years cascade like petals in the breeze,
I find safety in our shared reminiscences,
Each recall a stone laid in the foundation of trust,
Where your presence glimmers like distant stars,
Unraveling their secrets to only those who find stillness.
And there, we stand, against the torrent of time,
With roots deep, twined into the earth of our dreams.
There are days when shadows lengthen,
Where fear tiptoes in the dark corners of the heart,
But even then, your safety prevails,
A guardian against the whispers of doubt,
And I feel your light blaze fiercely, a comet overhead,
Guiding me through the labyrinthine corridors of worry.
With you, the silence transforms into a sanctuary,
A temple where our fears take flight into the ether,
The moments we build feel like architectured dreams,
Each smile replicating the sun’s ascent,
A signal to the universe of our unwavering presence.
Through panic’s unruly grip, I reach for your hand,
With fingertips brushing in warm solidarity,
A connection that renders the world quiet once more.
We create maps of experiences shared,
The vast expanse of laughter, through dance and song,
As sunlight lifts like a curtain upon our painted canvas,
Each vibrant hue a testament to resilience.
I find safety, not in the absence of storms,
But in the arms of your unwavering spirit,
With you, I am home; in every glance exchanged,
I feel the beat of a heart, echoing my own.
Beneath the expanding skies, we foster dreams,
Nurtured by the gentle rain of encouragement,
And I feel the promise of tomorrow thriving,
In the spaces where your whispers resonate,
A pulse of life in the symphony of our days,
The solace wrapped in our shared narratives.
As we navigate through the intricate paths of our journey,
I savor the moments where time appears elastic,
When laughter meets the stillness of reality,
Your presence a balm against the jagged edges of existence,
Bringing warmth even in frost-laden dawns,
A quiet affirmation, a mirror to our continued growth.
Though storms may rage and paths may twist,
In the sanctuary of your safety, I hold tight,
For in every heartbeat lies the crescendo of our bond,
And as we journey forth into the uncharted,
I find solace in knowing we are anchored together,
Navigating life’s mysteries hand in hand.
With the turning of seasons, our spirits entwined,
We scale mountains, drift through rivers,
Collecting memories like sea glass washed ashore,
The brilliance within them shines like gems beneath the sun,
Each fragment a reminder of our tethered souls,
The safety of each other’s presence whispering softly,
“Together, we are more than the sum of parts. ”
And it dawns on me, through every ebb and flow,
That the real beauty lies not just in feeling safe,
But in creating a space where safety breathes,
Encouraging growth, expansion of wings,
Floating gracefully amidst winds of change,
In your presence, I recognize the essence of growth,
The echoes of love, and the resilience we cultivate.
So, let us roam this world together,
Let the laughter fill the spaces left untraveled,
With you, I’m enwrapped in the sacredness of connection,
Each moment solidifies the bond we weave,
And through every encounter, every shimmering glance,
I am reminded of the beauty that is us,
Safe, secure, and forever present in the embrace of life.
