What I Know

In the pause between breaths,
suspended in time and space

your Self waits to show you
what it’s been trying to your whole life--

that there’s no need to prove, no need 
to compete, no need to impress,

and if you can just let go,
relax into the respite and believe,

the demand to know, do, and be will
fall down like stardust,

like rain
