Before the Dissolving

Lay down your name Fold it like a cloth and place it at the foot of the sky you won’t need it where you are going Let the breath be the boat and the stillness the sea you are not the wind you are the space it moves through Whatever you fear let it be a bell Whatever you long for let it be a gate There is no map Only Remembering So loosen your grip on who you think you are The stars have never needed a name to shine You are not falling You are returning To what has always held you even when you forgot
