The In Between

We are born alone
and
in a wink of an eye 
we die alone
so why am I so afraid of this time alone in the in between of
life and death

There is comfort in the breath I have found
from inhale
to exhale
steady and tue and always there present for you
to keep you teathered
to let you fly
expanding your compassion for yourself and beyond the sky

We are born alone
to learn possibly what it means to be alone
in a wink of an eye
we die alone
to learn possibly what it means to die
so why are we so afraid of this time alone int he in between of
life and death....
