Your Canny

by Jeffrey Parren

With the canny of none before
you were able to break down my walls
and visit a place that I didn't even know
was hidden from myself, so now
overexposure to that which hidden
is overpowering me currently, so know
that you opened up my heart
and my mind to a world hoped
but long since forgotten, so now
it will take some time to adjust
to all the nuances of our love...
I thought the key was lost forever.

Author's Note: Amy, "canny," thank you for the word and thank you for all you have done and I appreciate all that you have opened my eyes to since I thought that part of me was closed forever.

Omgosh, this just hits home with me. I have someone in my life, a "canny", and I'm ever so grateful. You've expressed it beautifully here.
