Yes

Yes is such a small word

deceptively soft but

filled with will and weight 

Resistance to it

the only thing between

doing and not doing

Yes brings unspoken will alive,

births thought into being,

desire into deed

Yes, whispered into the dark,

sends magic tendrils

snaking through veins

to quicken the very pulse of life

It’s not that it doesn’t hurt at all,

your situation,

how it pushes

against my desire to just let

whatever this is

flood in like the great, rushing tide

it wants to be

However –

yes.
