you were full and fully capable
you were self sufficient and needless
your house was fully decorated in that sense you were taken with me to a point
a case of careful what you wish for
but what you knew was enough to begin and so you called and courted fiercely
so you rached out, entirely fearless
and yet you knew of reservation and how it serves and I salute you for your courage
and I applaud your perseverance
and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces
that I represent so you were in but not entirely
you were up for this but not totally
you knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt and so you fell and youre intact
so you dove in and youre still breathing
so you jumped and youre still flying if not shocked and I support you in your trusting
and I commend you for your wisdom
and Im amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forces
that I represent you found creative ways to distance
you hid away from much through humor
your choice of armor was your intellect and so you felt and youre still here
and so you died and youre still standing
and so you softened and youre still safely in command self protection was in times of true danger
your best defense to mistrust and be wary
surrendering a feat of unequalled measure
and Im thrilled to let you in
overjoyed to be let in in kind
