stories are where new flowers bloom

they open us up like sunlight on soft petals

they reveal our inner colors, beyond plain green

they make us more than we were before


they make us so much more ourselves


for those who yearn to shine more brightly

for those who wear their heart on their sleeve

for those who feel love a little differently

I've built a gathering place


come along when you're ready

we'll be waiting there
