[I am] merely a breath.
I inhale as human,
and exhale as God.
The talons of choice and pleasure,
the flying dragons to ride.
Pain and suffering
and the dawn where the sleeping die.
Protect me, Father.
Nurture me, Mother.
For I am rough and unable to soften at your feet.
I breathe in the girl
and breathe out the archetype.
Maiden, crone, I will be them all,
As I prepare for rebirth each night.
I breathe in each wound,
and breathe out each as healed.
The cub in the mighty lion's mouth,
I am vulnerability, revealed.
Protect me, Father.
Nurture me, Mother.
For I am scraped raw at your feet to wash.
There is no separation of will
no stale egoic agenda or petrified soapbox.
My chalice empties breath by breath
my societal-induced psychosis unlocks.
I inhale as human,
and exhale as God.
[I am] merely a breath.
