When My Heart Breathes

The morning breathes in grey Clouds lie heavy on my world I am quiet Not shining Not strong Just honest And in the midst of this quiet beginning A peace stirs deep inside Not loud Not urgent Like warm breath beneath cold blankets Today I dont have to force a thing I am allowed to be soft Allowed to be human And you are here And when the day asks me where I am going My only whisper is Into your rest I do not have to carry For I am carried I do not have to shine I am free to simply be Even when my hands are empty My heart is never without a home I rest in you Not because I hold on But because you hold me Grace runs through me Quiet as light through leaves And peace grows Without me having to fight for it I am made new You teach my heart to see anew You are the quiet strength Beneath my own heartbeat And when doubt comes like evening shadows Remind me who my morning is I am not lost inside my feelings I am found within your presence Sometimes fear whispers in its old colors But it finds no grip in me anymore No room No throne For your truth is not a demand It is a home I no longer run from the darkness I dwell in the light I grow quietly As roots grow Unseen yet unstoppable It is not I who holds you It is you who hold me I do not earn love I receive it My heart no longer works to earn peace It simply drinks and becomes still And when my courage whispers Instead of sings You hear that too I rest in you You rest in me Not lifted outward into distance But lowered into depth Everything old has no claim on me anymore I am yours and that is enough No masks No pressure Only being Love finds me Even when I lose myself And when my heart grows quiet You are loud enough for us both
