Ready

If I give you everything
from the inside would you
believe me then?
Like a bag turned inside out
exposure fading 
and  changing
Its original plain form
Never to return again
to what was before

All that I am is here for you
without hesitation 
I am now opening
God made me to flower
and in the sun I have
Basked in the glory of creation, reaching up to
become all there is of me
Vulnerable in my state of being
I am not afraid of who I am

Ready to love fully in every color
you will see my most intimate self…
In the end, we are disrobed,
abandoning the image
of who we wanted to become

A mirror set before us then reflects
the good we have known
Not only in the physical,
but at the very center 
of our inner being 
where eternity lives

Shedding every darkness
