I am not afraid
I stand before this moment
Feeling the weight of it, the wave of it
Missing what I can no longer see
But rather sense lies beyond the boundaries
Of this heart
I am not afraid
Of walking with open eyes
Of feeling at great amplitude
For the fire that burns within the heart of the Mother
Burns within my own
Each breath, luminous and sacred
I am the wave, my body pounding upon the sandy coast
I am the stones churning, polished and smooth
The darkness within my heart has released like a new moon tide
Bare and beautifully prostrate
This heart enters the healing temple
To begin again
I am not afraid
