Breathe
HeungSoon Shorts
As if in an enraptured dream,
as if inhabiting the body of another,
I glimpse beyond
the turmoil within -
no rising defenses
no scars to be worn like medals
no lack of innocence
no crippling solitude
no muddy footprints to be worn like fine robes
no flag of weakness
no break in time -
There, a modest seedling awaits..
a sliver of sun
a golden chance
a bright mark of life
a flicker of color
a shred of calm
a pale rainbow
an echo of endurance
a lurking truth
a timid craving...
I am eager to breathe.
