A universal desire
Rarely voiced
To be completely known
Yet loved and accepted
Not by all
But by one
Or a few
Like a glimpse of the garden of Eden
Naked and unashamed
Vulnerable but safe
Is this foolishness or wisdom?
Danger or safety?
Risk or opportunity?
The uncertainty of whether
Someone can be trusted
With trust comes rest
And the security
Of being loved
Relaxing in an embrace
Knowing each other
In joy and sorrow
Through defeats, failures and victories
Knowing strengths and weaknesses
Walking through different seasons
Of life together
Taking off the masks we wear
Because there is no need to hide
Learning to forgive
The potential to hurt
But also to heal
Just being
In each other’s presence
A desire placed in us
By the One who knows us fully
And longs to be known
