Wanderer

Your path, too,

has always been loved —

Though you have felt alone,

though you have wandered

haunted by so many whispered

cautionary tales

You have been seen,

you have been cheered for —

all your singularities

have been appreciated

Though you were warned otherwise,

you can never walk away from being loved —

That fact is always with you

like every other integral

aspect of yourself:

You can’t be separated

from your truth,

you can’t be severed

from your love.
