Open your eyes despite all that pushes against you,
reach out, take another handful even if you earn a bruiseful.
swim this sea of stars that elude each kick, each pull, every breath;
dark unknown surrounds you and the depths are darker, deeper.
Music of rain on water cannot drown the sound of thunder,
open your eyes, lightning must illuminate you,
embrace this fire, let it sear you.
Remember to breathe.
Float on the surface with no knowledge of who you are.
You are the breath, the current. Fly, dive
deep and face what would consume you,
drag it into light, toss it high above you and leap over it.
You are light, you are wind, you swim in a sea of stars.
