Still Breathing

Today
This moment
       Beautiful
All is aligned
      All is well

Suffer
If you must
I’m doing fine
      Over here
Done dug out
      The spear
      The wound
Mostly subsided

While fear
 Becomes
 Distant memory

Nothing to worry
No place to dwell

This life
My life
Is beautiful
Right now
In this moment
     Nothing to fear
     Nothing to regret

I am alive
I am 
     Living Breath
