   I'm thinking of the times I've closed in on myself, like a pre-bloomed flower. Vulnerable means risk, yes, but beauty, too.

   Vulnerable is brave. And love makes us vulnerable. Just a wonderful, thoughtful poem. Photo is fantastic too.

   This is one of my favorites. I agree with Brian, one is vulnerable when brave.

    I like how you have elevated vulnerability to a level we should strive for. The picture fits the verse perfectly–laying open with seeds exposed.

    Beautiful words. The willingness to make yourself vulnerable is definitely quite brave… yet very necessary in love.My One Shot: A Letter to Saint Valentine
