Calm

 

Inhale the clouds

Exhale the dust

Count the stars on the back of your eyelids

Calm

Trace the outlines of your memories

Dance among those precious,

Vague shapes

Smile

Stretch and move your flexible spine

Strong

Remember the time

You stood up in fear and trembling

Armed with audacious

Hope

Put your hand on your hip –

Still carrying the arrows you shot at yourself

The Goliath of your life

Doubt

 

We are made with amazing love

For amazing things

Wonder at your inheritance

Dust

Now exhale and face

Today
