Calm

And as we close our eyes
Listening to the ebb and flow
Connect it to our breath 
Draw it in, and let it go

I'll hold my heart in my hands
Create a space for it to be
Though crashing waters surround
With suffocating finality 

They build around my feet
And rise to cover my head
Ply at me with possibilities 
And words I never said

And as we sink to darkness
To drown beneath the shore
Lost in racing thoughts
Wondering if we could have done more

We return always to the breath
Though at times it may shake
We carve out spaces in time
And give all that it may take

What more can we do?
Accept it and float on
Try to soothe the torrents 
Until the storm is gone

And as we open our eyes
Still leaving space for us to be
I'll hold my heart and know:
It is enough to be taken care of by me
