When You Play… – A Poem by Katherine Weider

Breathe
Into the murmur of your cells.
Wear petals from your flowering heart
On your sleeve.
Dance on the edge of the abyss
And let yourself fall
Into the black water stillness.
Yes, this is where you’re going,
Into the Un-known.
Don’t try.
It’s true, no one else will be there.
Not even you.
Let the soft empty silence
Shimmer like the wind.
And listen to its song.

–Katherine Weider
