Today we pray;
You are safe,
Breathe
Move, call, breathe big deep long breaths of strength.
Embracing the laughter of stolen kisses,
finding the joy of yourself in the laughter of another.
Close shoulders, backs of hands, smooth lips,
the edge of an ear.
Soul speaks, emits to the ether, the pulse, bang, bump of intertwining of souls.
Innocence of insecurity, playful temptation of emotion.
Saying
There is a compass inside each
weathered, black with the sand of time.
Buried in a drawer, in the packet of our soul.
The beauty of it, in its case
the rhythm of the world absorbed when touched.
