Bring It In and Begin

silky wings
slip through choppy flight
I release and pause
with momentum under
a quiet moment
a kindling in my chest
to tell you I love you
like a breath so natural
an exhale with your name
but instead I seal my lips
turning to face inward
with my heart so open
there can’t be words to fill it
and with silence I fly
into new and old wounds
I will do more than recover
not knowing the next unfolding
I can surrender without losing.
