Eyes opening…waking just long enough
to hear the voice remind you…Breathe…enter
that breath of life through lungs…through organs…through
bloodstream, nerves, bone, flesh, skin…through your center
of being…that gift of life…of faith…grow
our conscious contact through breathing…our breath
pushed out now…exhale all fear of life now…
all care of rejection or harm…or death…
understand each breath as gift…accept past
as our archives of learning…now as our
chance to rest…strengthen our beings to cast
into action when rising…but this hour
to only breathe…breathe in faith…breathe out fear…
breathe in…breathe out…breathe in faith…breathe out fear…
