breathtaking
breathtaking
that in my dreaming was my waking
that in my body was a center,
a hole
in which lay the whole
not mine but all connecting to all
and through this place
near heart and ribs
an opening
where before sat fear
guarded on either side
by yes and no
and with one look at these
and one deep breath
they were let go
allowing light
and lightness long hidden
and
breathtaking.
