Today, Let the Wild Heart Rise

Let it pulse like thunder in the hollow

of your chest,

let it tear at the seams

of certainty, let it live.

 

Stop the fists clenched, the hard-won wishes

shoved against the walls of fate.

Let go

the trembling grip on that which slips

through your fingers like sand, like smoke,

like the memory of a forgotten dream.

 

The world, vast and reckless, asks only

that you breathe it in,

not wrangle it into submission.

 

Feel it. 

How everything meant for you

whispers on a current unseen, 

how it weaves

like shadow and light through the very marrow

of your bones, calling you by name, 

soft as a promise,

certain as blood.

 

So let it flow, let it go, this war, 

this force,

this heavy ache of trying to shape

the ocean into your palms, 

let it all fall

like rain to the earth.

 

Trust. 

Trust that all that belongs

will come like wild birds returning, 

like rivers finding the sea, 

effortless, fated, bold.

 

And so you breathe.

You breathe in life, vast, unknowable,

more wild and free than desire.

 

You let it move, unchained.

 

And in that breath, in that letting go,

you become,

everything you were ever meant to be.
