For Erin

The unique weave of a handmade fabric
A hand pinched clay pot..
The phases of the moon ~

These things are beautiful
And imperfect,
Always changing

So too is a voice, the instrument of a body,
Raw, real, and full
Brought from deep within

And you, your soul laid bare for all to see
Stand stripped and give your all,
With grace and fortitude.
