Trust

That feeling in my gut
That strong and steady thought
in midst of all the other thoughts

That is trust..

That calming voice
in the other
those benovelent words
spoken by my brother

That is trust..

These tears released
on her pillow
That gentle touch
weakening my sorrow

That is trust..

In this parade of invalidation
I get to have a choice
I get to have a voice
Have the right to remember
and thereby surrender
to the value I hold within

..in that I trust
