entering the shadowland
deep inside my heart
cracked open and raw
called to the corners
soil bleeds onto my hands
as i claw
through wild gardens
untended
uncontrolled
drenched in rains
leaking from my eyes
above

and i am swimming now
choking in my salty pool
but floating
buoyed in serenity
my head refusing the weight of
gravity
viciously pulling at my root

i discover my blindness
as the light pours in
streaming in
to the
dusty corners
of my soul
corners i dared not see
seducing me now in sacred dance
light of abundance

communion with the goddess
and i breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
and i breathe
once more
