to breathe deep, for I will need it
in this dive below the surface.
I will not bypass this opportunity,
I will look clearly
I’ll watch out for signs of shallowness,
of touching down to a false floor.
I won’t harbor fear
by pretending it’s not there
If I am truly fearless,
my movements and my voice
will be powerful —
they will stop things
in the tracks of mindless motion
They will demand
all things that pass by here
to take on the full light
of their own meaning.
They will not let go
until they are transformed.
