embrace
locked into despair
you showed me, you told me
what my body already knew
movement
dance
embodiment
is hope and light and life
you gifted me
a path, a direction
to myself when I was lost
I needed to be reminded what I hear
when my eyes are blinded
of the smell of utter silence
so here I stand
solid
present
ætherial
unshamed
feet planted as they're flying
flowing arms embracing
myself embracing
a room packed with dancing bodies
embracing you
now
across an ocean
