At Last, the Inhale
Jessica Cotten
Let me
Catch my breath
Hovering,
Fluttering.
Let me
Feel the wind
Whispering
On my skin.
Let me
Feel my roots
Tracing
Water’s edge.
Let me
Pause there.
My suffocating thirst.
Give me
Time to quench it.
Watch me
Awaken,
Leaf to mountain.
Watch me
Delight in
My restoration.
Let me feel,
Let me mend,
Let me tend
To my soul.
Let me
Linger like this.
