Warm.
Calm.
Venerating a moment.
Sitting on the edge
of consciousness,
toes dipping
in infinity.
Feeling the emotions
come and go.
Forget the burning cities.
Civilization comes around
every dozen centuries, or so.
Breathe.
Slow.
Take in the deep.
Let it out.
It’s okay,
the breath was never yours
to begin with.
It belonged to the Universe
long before
you were ever here.
Experience it.
Drink of it.
Imbibe it.
Become it.
Once you learn to breathe,
you can take yourself
anywhere.
Just be careful
where you look.
The world is full
of desecrated scared spaces.
Places that used to be
strong nexus points
between worlds,
that are now
dark, and haunted crossroads.
Just believe.
Be light.
And you’ll find
your way forward.
I promise
the path is there,
and if you look,
you will find it.
A way
you’ve never imagined,
to a place
you’ve never dreamed.
