How Wide Can you Open the Doors to your Heart?

how wide can you open the doors to your heart?
will you open yourself to love ..... even if you have been hurt before?
or will you close yourself and hide away.

how wide can you open the doors to your heart?
can you let love in ?

each day
each and every moment we inhale a breath
we have a chance to let love in.
or we have a chance to hold it out. push it away.
will you let love in?

how open can you be? how much love can you let in
how long can you hold the doors open before you get scared and start to pull away?
imagining a memory repeated again today. but not necessarily.

how far have you taught yourself to walk on that sometimes frightening path of sweet surrender.

can you hold the doors open with your own two hands
when the emergency light starts flashing and the automatic lock down starts closing all the windows, pulling all the doors shut and sounding the alarms.
can you hold the doors open anyway. right then.
hold them there and breath?
hold the doors open and let love in anyway.
let it pour into you
in the midst of fear


ahh let it rain
let it rain
let it rain
let it rain love on the open door to your heart

and when you stand there with the tears in your eyes and your hand on your heart
trying to love
know that you are here choosing more
choosing more
love
more rain
let it pour
let it pour
let it rain on you

beautiful soul
beautiful darling soul
let your heart stay open when you want to
put up that stone cold wall of silence.
resist
resist that
and fall into love instead

open the doors to your heart and let love stay flowing in and out with you
through you
to you
from you


~dedicated to the moment when the heart wants to close up and hide away.
& in honor of the moment when we can walk even farther into love instead

this was written while it rained today
