Strength and Tenderness
You are rock and breeze,
a subtle balance between strength and calm.
In your embrace, I find refuge,
a place where my vulnerability
is not a burden, but a gift.
Your strength does not crush,
it is the root that supports my branches,
the anchor that allows me to soar without fear.
And your tenderness,
that serene river flowing through my being,
washes away the scars of time
and teaches me to smile once more.
With you, fragility is not defeat,
it is the melody that gives meaning to silence.
Your hands, firm yet gentle,
guide me to a space
where being myself is not a risk,
but an act of shared love.
You are the strength that lifts me,
the tenderness that disarms me,
and in that perfect duality,
I find the happiness
of being vulnerable,
of being human,
of being loved.
