Trust

Trust is a silent foundation,
built slowly, not in haste,
in the gentle weight of presence,
in patience that honours unseen boundaries.

It listens to the spaces between words and
feels the echoes of hearts that have learned caution and
that have guarded themselves with care.

To be trusted is to hold what is rare and sacred,
without force, without demand,
to remain steady when storms pass,
and to stay, even when silence stretches long.

Trust is not a door to be forced but a threshold opened only by steady hands
and quiet hearts.
It is fragile and strong,
a mirror that reflects integrity, and
a bridge that carries only what truth can bear.Trust does not ask for possession,
nor bow to urgency.
It grows where integrity stands.

Where presence, not charm,
becomes proof of care.

It honours caution,
hears what isn’t spoken,
and cradles what is given,
without breaking,
without taking what is not freely offered.

Trust Again

Trust is truth in and around itself. 
Integrity, in testimony, in test
letting us find true being

away from masks 
a way into our purpose
holding me in a hug
of accountability, patience, in understanding

It’s a heart to heart

To be embraced as a full human

Because to trust god is to trust love and time
All at once

And trust that our journey back to eachother
Needs consistent consciousness and 
 showing up in the wrong at times to 
feel a freedom from right

A real trust is not black and white 
It is wrong and right
Its learning what wrong feels like
To then embody our right(s)

Inspite of our past

Growth is remembering and 
at times, letting go because
Trust knows our future
without our control

We must trust heaven is there
a place of break and repair
And knowing healing is grief 
and joy and despair
And sharing beliefs without a gun
Or fighting over who lost and who won

Because it’s about a hug, a smile, finding light in the dark

I trust that to live together, we must see each other’s hearts.

So beautiful, felt every word directly within me. I see it more than a poem, it’s like how trust and care can guide us in building something real, at our own pace… what do you think???

I love this

And I hope we’re able to trust God, trust each other, and trust that we’ll see and share each other’s hearts with a hug and a smile.

Sorry for writing a lot for you throughout the night but after reading it again this morning,I know it’s more than words.I know it’s you being real about what trust means, and I really appreciate that.

I believe trust isn’t about being perfect. It’s about honesty, even when it’s hard. It’s showing up consistently, matching words with actions, and letting love and time do their work.

It’s about truth, patience, and safety, it’s being our real selves with no masks, and growing together through both right and wrong moments like you said.

Trust like connection can’t be forced,it’s built in small, steady ways,through being consistent and calm. I want to be the same person on Friday that I was on Monday not only when things are easy, but when it’s tense too…

I know trust takes time. It can be messy as well but if we’re aware and willing to grow, we’ll always find our way back.we don’t need to be perfect,we just need to learn and keep choosing the right step in the right direction….

I’m still learning your language of safety and want to be able to speak it fluently. I’ll keep doing my best to create this safe space guided by love and divine timing. I want you to know you can breathe when you’re with me, I’m here, and I won’t disappear. I want to bring calm and clarity into this safe space, not judgment. I want to build something real, not perfect.

Also note that,you don’t have to meet me where I am today. Just know I’ll be the same person tomorrow, and the next day.I want to grow, laugh, and dance with you. I want to challenge you in good ways that uplift, and when we disagree, do it with love, not to win, but to understand.

I want you to have freedom, not control,joy not pressure and most of all, a space where you feel safe and seen.I just want us to see each other,really see each other,and keep building something that bends, breaks, but comes back stronger. Something real but not perfect.

That’s the kind of trust I’m here to give.

Saule

Instead of apologizing I want you to trust that these honest messages of love and gentleness sing peace into my spirit and mind!

i think knowing trust isn’t perfect is letting me show up in imperfection. trusting that humans will do the right thing all the time is unrealistic but trusting that humans will do the right thing with time and accouintability is realistic. letting people learn is important, and learning focuses on the mistakes and process. i think i am learning how to free myself and youre helping me. i realized that this “heaven on earth” is reachable. before i just saw it as the future but heaven on earth is right now. its deciding if you want to contribute to that perspective. i think what i fear the most is becoming the people who have hurt me but living in this fear can hurt more than repair. i guess forgiveness is next, and forgiving the past and letting it be but knowing that experience happened is important. 

i hope you can trust that i will always be here to support you too and  want to understand you and where youre coming from. men and woman have different experiences historically and at times me and other women have had the mentality that men are untrustworthy and can hurt us.  though, i think men are here to help humanity come together and help women heal and play in simplicity and commit to protecting and we need eachother.

Kwame

Trust isn’t perfect, it’s something we keep choosing through time, honesty, and care. I love how you see learning as part of that process and that’s the real real strength.

Saule

DAMN. thank you for witnessing and acknowledging this strength. thank you for showing up as a supportive, loving, consistent friend and just a light gifting, knowledge sharing, and hearted soul.

i learn strength from you

Kwame

Thank you.I really respect how you see things, it takes courage to look beyond fear and past experiences and still choose understanding and I believe we’re here to help each other heal, not to fight each other.

Also men and women both carry history, but we also carry the power to rewrite it through patience, care, and truth.

I’ll keep showing up that way, and I’m grateful that you want to do the same…thank you so much Saule.

I only want to keep being the calm presence where we both can learn, heal, and grow.

The light we share is mutual, and I’m grateful to witness your strength too, you’re the best….

Saule

we have the power to rewrite, we must take control and rewrite… or the past can control us into cycles. and this takes strength to see past emotions and the present; to see a new tomorrow.  we must see the growth in our soil. not just my soil, my root, but ours. I hear trees communicate to each other underground and can share nutrients and messages.

Kwame

Yes trees indeed communicate underground,support and nourish each other quietly, in ways that aren’t always visible, but are real. 

I want to keep growing with you like that, intentional, patient and build a space where both our hearts and roots can thrive instead of surviving. 

Saule

I thrive when we talk. I hope everyone has someone in their lives who can help return their being into thriving when their body and mind has mostly known surviving.

Kwame

I feel the same  way whenever I talk with you, there’s ease and I’m able to be myself 

I’m grateful we can create  a space where surviving isn’t the only option, and thriving feels possible.I’m lucky to have you around always.

Saule

ahh you help me see life new again. i feel like a new person every time we talk.
