Sleep

The day can lay its weight down now

I don’t have to carry it anymore

Every thought that’s running wild

Can sit by the door

The world can keep on spinning fast

I’m allowed to slow my breath

Nothing I forgot today

Can follow me to rest

In through the nose

Out through the chest

I’m here

I’m safe

I did my best

I breathe in calm

I breathe out fear

This moment is enough right here

I am held

I am blessed

Tonight, I rest

Thank you for the quiet things

The small unseen grace

The light that showed up anyway

In an ordinary day

Thank you for my beating heart

For the air, for the dark

For the way tomorrow waits

But doesn’t ask

No fixing

No fight

No need to know what comes next

Just this breath

Just this night

Just rest

I breathe in peace

I breathe out doubt

Love moves softly through me now

I am held

I am blessed

Tonight, I rest

May every part of me unclench

May my jaw let go

May my shoulders remember

They don’t have to hold the world

May love be wider than my worry

May hope be quieter than fear

May sleep come gently

Like it knows me

I breathe in love

I breathe out pain

I don’t need to earn my place

I am held

I am blessed

I am safe

I rest

Slow breath in

Long breath out

Nothing else matters now

Slow breath in

Long breath out
