Life starts to rush quickly by

picking up pace with each rotation. 

Words, questions, problems 

come tumbling forward, leaving a path

of exhaustion in its wake.

[spacebar]

Battle-weary I fall into you. 

You become my breath; 

replacing the tightened chest with a sigh of relief.

You become my heartbeat; 

replacing the rapid flutter with a steady beat. 

Peace washes over me 

as I rest in your protective embrace. 

[spacebar] 

As the sun fades into night, 

I remain hidden in the folds. 

When the sun returns, 

I arise refreshed,

ready to fight once again.

Be still and know that victory is near.
