I felt the breath dissipate
Trapped by the rising awareness
Clawing free from its cage
The suspect freedom met
With distilled reflection

Breathe
Darkened eyes
Alighted spine
Hear
The single drop
Held by time

Letting the sun drip rays
Over and dress me in gold
Infused with reflected stars
Constellations forming
From once hidden pathways
Now aligned
To share with mine
