Please Understand

by James Zealy

Please understand
Descendants of Brigit
Are passionate essence incarnate
Fragile whisps of spirit alight

While hands clasp her heart
The crown points inside
Always inside
Whose inner sanctum plays heart notes

Even solitary and conflicted
Her heart is the Cladagh
No matter what demons display
To distort her perception

To love brigit's heirs
Is to understand
Passion and conflict
Creativity and loyalty

It is not a description
It is their core
It is part of their beauty
And can never be destroyed

No written word
No faux emotion
No adroit manipulation
No entrapment

Please understand
There is no other way

Author's Note: I have known a few am married to one, and have a daughter that fits the description. Just let me say life is not boring.

This has such an easy, casual rhythm going for it. I really like that.
