Reclamation II

So I gather.

There it is, that which was lost. I am becoming aware.

Reclaim.

Yes, I left it behind, it was too heavy to carry. Here I am, forgiving.
Picking up. Stronger.

This vessel.

A hull full of stories, dreams. Overflowing with this spirit and her blooming, propelled by this body and her workings.

What of balance?

Might actually be witness—of self in space, of guestness. Of holding. Still. Wonder. Permission to whisper faith. Focus. Well-rounded.

Halo.

Glow in the let go. Embrace so hard arms melt into arm, holds together. Didn’t you hear? It breathes. It grew.
