Pine

My days
of late
have been filled
with long walks,
reflections of the past,
and letting go
what is not essential
to my being.
During this
spiritual
‘spring cleaning’,
I came to an insightful
conclusion
to my time with you.
You believed
that vulnerability
was a weakness;
that showing
vulnerability
was about winning
or losing.
I believe that
is the reason
for our differences.
For our ability
to be vulnerable
is not a measure
of weakness,
but rather,
the single greatest
indicator
of one’s courage.
