Saturation Point

Expose your heart
to the wind and the rain;
let them show,
these veins
that carry life
out to the edges
where you meet the sky;
hands outstretched for mercy
cannot be denied
nourishment
for long.

New growth
is always a little raw
but ... so saturated with life!

I like "hands outstretched for mercy cannot be denied nourishment for long" and "New growth is always a little raw".

All that's tender inside, hidden under the tough hide we'd like to think we know how to show to the world.
