Breathe yourself into being

Body

I have neglected you,  as,all my night dreams and mirrors tell me

It is time to turn the tide;

Cells remember your initial purpose 

Attack and vanquish free radicals

Mutant cells

Invaders

Shapeshifters 

And other dark things lurking within that have no names

Let the light of the sun filter through your eyelids and fill every last crevice, every last fold,  every last curve

Remember your original purpose 

Time before all the toxic prescriptions 

That jumbled my mind and laid waste

To you, my body

Breathe deeply, my body

And exhale twice as harshly and twice as,long

Letting all the built-up darkness leave in a long stream, 

Wirh nary a whisper left behind

Exiting my blood stream, my lungs, my adipose tissues, my organs, my muscles, my skin

Where once lived healing light, may it be so again

Breathe yourself into being
