trailing across dampened cheeks and trembling eyelids,
Your gentleness an undoing, untangling the silencing snarl of grief and rage and hope
weighing breath and body and heart.
Your invitation to presence a playful exchange, tension turned effervescent in my bones and I awaken to safety and to choice.
Empyrean one, gratitude flows through me, a cleansing lightness, buoyed by laughter, as with the very breath you gift I speak your name to sky and skittering leaves.
May you be blessed as you have blessed me this night.
