Broad reasons for hope
A future to see
Breathe

The wind strokes my face
The small of my back
Grass

Cashmere blades of leaf
The smell of fresh hay
Free

Away from disgust
Away from the noise
Peace

My hair is undone
My arms open wide
Love

Embracing the air
Caressing the Earth
Green

My irises glow
My pupils have shrunk
Light

I reach for the sky
My wings are wide spread
Fly

Serene, quiet chords
The hymn of my heart
Pulse

The whispers above
A forest of sun
Lush

The blood in my veins
A river of rain
Rush

What pure lullabies
They cherish my strength
Sleep


It enters within
Upholding my life
Keep
