BREATHE

I was born very young

Entirely too young

And I have been waiting 
my entire life 
to be precisely here

I have caught up, slowed down

The bubble almost center in the level

The pebble before the avalanche

All plates spinning with whispered welcoming

It's the moment of hanging over the canyon

Blink, blink, wave

Wiley I am, go, LET GO, Let's go

Surrender to the undertow


I'm awake, I can breathe

Fitting my body, MY body

See how this book cradles perfectly in my hand

This fork rests perfectly in my mouth

This hand encourages from the small of my back

Resistance is a currency with no value

I care enough

And dare to say 24 hours are enough

7 days are more than enough

A lifetime will always have been enough

With nothing, no thing, left undone
