Waves of Breath

It calls to me, the waves of Lake Michigan

Inward and outward like the breath

Reminding me that there is spaciousness,

There is tender-heartedness and danger wrapped in one.

And that's okay, because we can hold the fear and love--together

Wrapped into the cyclical nature of all things,

Light and dark.

Breathe with me

Once and again, once and again.

Undulation and rebirth, ever more.
