Layers

You are a secret, layered like the earth,
hidden beneath fear and the depth of your past.
You have a universe inside of you, your outside layers are silly and strong, tightening around your aura like metal fingers, gripping.
Underneath there is wonder and awe, soaking in the world around you, figuring things out, formulating plans, developing theories, turning wheels, working to produce order out of chaos.
Underneath that, there is a delicious bittersweetness that no one can taste until you decide it is important to begin to clear the layers away.

We all have layers, and we all have something underneath those layers that it takes a special person to discover.

Love,
