Compatibility

I am ready to take on faith

your good heart,

your pure soul —

I am sure that the worth

of your talents, your quirks

is inestimable —

critical part of the balance

in which all life spins

So my only other question is: 

What is it like to stand

in the room of you?

How will you hold us,

how will you shelter

those that stand with you?

Do you know

how to hold a hearth,

a warm place of peace?

Or can you make yourself at home in mine?

If so, I’m in.
