New World

there's a relief inside
a vulnerable truth was spoken
carefully uttered words
held in the arms of the tribe

there was danger in her speaking
she knows the warrior I've befriended
still being tamed
turbulent and not fully mastered
but still we risk

in the immediacy of the experience
a volcano erupts
the mind scrambles to reassemble
knees buckling and innards shake

there lies the courage and opportunity to expand
the picture of our ever-changing tribe
our new world
