Say that this is a life of selflessness.
That you are here because you know of God,
that you are going where you do not know
but that you trust in Him still.
Say that this is a world of solidarity.
Say that you believe in love.
Let one day stretch into the next
like a tightly sewn seam,
let your cup overflow and drink
until you’re full and you can feel
the light travelling down your spine,
the bubbly presence of God.
Let go of yourself.
Do not hold onto the middle ground,
or you will always wander.
Let your skin fall to wrinkles
and trust that you will live on still.
Do not hide between beliefs,
rising and falling like a breath in the night.
There will always be doubt in the dark.
Let go of the twin in the mirror.
Carry your body into tomorrow,
you will not always need it.
