She Breathes in Serenity

Drawing By Lydia Wolfe

She Breathes In Serenity
By Mushroom Montoya



She breathes in serenity,


Lifting her arms up,


She closes her eyes,


Trusting the spirits to catch her.




She floats


To her ancestors,


Meeting them,


One by one,


with each breath.




She breathes in serenity,


Listening to them teach her


How to hear the truth,


How to see the beauty,


How to be a blessing.



She floats

To her ancestors

Rooted in gratitude,

Grounded in solitude.



She bows

In tribute

For the wisdom

They continue to give her.



She floats

in the ancestral arms

of her being.
