when pain consumes
our lives
it burns our days
away in fear
our souls resist––
we are not afraid
we are not trapped
inside this trembling
hulk of a body
we are truly
as free as
the sky
that beckons us
to freedom with waves
of light
the world proclaimed
our being &
gave us
form––
we have our own place
in the order of
things––
we belong
as we are
the end is not
the end––
the present moment
has no walls––
is no barrier
whatever we are
includes each other
& all
else
every instant of
life can be
a prayer––
every breath
a liberation
let go––
let be––
like the exclamation
of conscious energy
you forever
are
