being

I remember warmth, sun hits my face

Compelling me to lift my gaze 

To take in the vast expanse of sky

Portal back to where I’ve been

With space, I stretch to all unknown

I fill with breath, invite inside

Life, the moving river with a rushing pace

This motion knows to bring in change

My body feels the same yet yields to

Time, the box that fills, holds, and spills

Reverence for these ins and outs

Is to acknowledge and accept

I get to be here.
