Clarity Comes with the Dawn

“We are breathed in-to”
     she says,
and tears spring
to my softly closed eyelids

We are breathed in-to.

God
breathes into me
Enters me
And I breathe back
     Out
Into God

We are One
We are breathed in-to

I am safe and
I am loved and
I can be whole

Sitting between two
beloved
dear ones
     Friends
Where once there was

     Too much space

Now there is peace

And I think about
the angry place I had
inside
that now is empty and
lite 

And the ink on my skin
proclaiming
This Too Shall Pass.
And I breathe in
as I am breathed in-to
And I breathe out knowing

Time Heals.

We are breathed in-to
We are One

I am safe.
I am loved.
I can be whole.
