As a kid I had a dream
sinking to the bottom of the pool
my breath slowly surrendered
its spiral of tiny air bubbles
a last breath
of captive air
I am so shocked
What is this silky heaviness
joyfully filling my chest?
I stare up at the surface waters
breaching air
lapping the edges of
another world
knowing my lungs can swim
Do you remember when we could breathe water?
We are sinking
into a Realm
we can barely
remember
Here we find
honor & protection
as we breathe in these
origin fluids
Here we remember
our beginnings
in the womb of creation
Just float now
fingers strumming
the silky heaviness until
it is safe again to
Rise
to breach the air.
