Breathe

Celestine, Quartz
Celestine, Quartz

Tonight
you do not have to solve your life

let the unanswered questions
rest like seeds beneath winter soil
as they are gathering strength in the dark

the weight you feel is not proof of failure
it is the sound of old armor loosening at the joints

you are allowed to soften

the river does not force its way forward
it bends, it curves
it trusts the shape of the land
and still finds the sea

so breathe

what is meant for you is not frightened by your pause
what is true in you cannot be misplaced

even now
especially now
something gentle and steady
is carrying you
where you need to go
