She holds the world inside of her
Deep Breathe In
A return
Deep Breathe Out
A release
At a time when she was no longer a girl,
but not yet a woman,
she sought out the counsel of those who
could guide her to innerstanding.
An anchor of being known now gone,
left with a yearning
An ache that has become a part of her.
A space filled with no more moments,
only memories
Deep Breathe In
This is for me
Deep Breathe Out
This is not for me
The world brings the memory to her
in a million little ordinary things
To share the couch
To share the chore
To share the story
To share the silence
Deep Breathe In
I am here for self-actualization
Deep Breathe Out
Not for external motivation
She is not the power you feel,
but the power you know.
She is not the strength that moves
but the strength that you stand on
They are, Her and Him the same
Deep Breathe In
Deep Breathe Out
