Already

Rest, o weary one.

slow it down

close those eyes 

sink into that pause 

allow yourself a moment to just be

nowhere to go other than where you are 

nothing to do other than all you have done 

no one to become other than who you already are

because, my love 

you are everything already 

you are worthy already

in you is the light of life, of love, of stunning beauty, already

you are of the universe

the stars 

a miracle of life itself

you’ve been fighting for so long, my love

reaching, striving, aching to become

but all along you already were 

not just enough 

not just worthy 

but luminescent

a wave cannot strive to belong

to the magnificent, powerful ocean

it is already the ocean

and you, my love, already are
