She Drew the Clouds Apart
She drew the clouds apart
bid me: “Look beyond”
my darkness
exhale a cleansing breath
whisper: “Let it be”
wave an open hand
in silent peace
inhale the unheard cries
of scentless petals
falling
listen to the mantric drone
of honey bees
watch the darkness shift
through thinning veils
ease into the light
that is your own
She drew the clouds apart
so that I might see
my darkness
