unfolding
open myself to possibility, life
unfolding
allow air into my lungs
unfolding
let my arms hang down, stop protecting
unfolding
touch, awaken, spark of life
unfolding
move forward, one tentative step at a time
unfolding
stretch, open my wings for flight
unfolding
allow life to breathe through me
unfolding
dance upon the earth, feet engaging, arms free
unfolding
eyes sparkle as life returns
unfolding
let the hair go, release it from those braids, let it fly
unfolding
grief settles into the background
unfolding
grace allows life once again
unfolding
I am here. I am safe. I am enough.
unfolding
We are beauty and life and love
