poem ~ inside of you

Inside of you is a deep dark hole
where vulnerability looms and grows,
What will it take for you
to discover this part of you?

Inside your heart down deep
is an abyss of beauty harbored to keep,
What will it take for you
to let a little bit of it shine through?

Inside of your being is a longing to be known
and accepted for every part that is unknown,
What will it take for you
to share it with the world and be thoroughly exposed?

Inside your soul is a gorgeous look
of intense feelings that would rock the brook,
What will it take for you
to paddle down in your own canoe?

Inside of your mind is the mansions you keep
and a story that stays secluded from reach,
What will it take for you
to unlock the door to the room with a view?
