Walls sealed your tenderness
Fear locked your trembling plea
A secret heart kept beating
For eyes you refused to see
Breath loosened rigid posture
Warmth brushed your guarded face
A fragile glow stepped inward
To offer sacred grace
Shadows lost their foothold
Truth touched your quiet stride
A radiance long awaited
Came home the day you tried
Hold this tender presence
Let openness preside
Light finds its passage
Through lives that stop to hide
