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
