wholeness

Gail Purdy

moving through time
held
by the unfathomable
I am
sweet rhythms encircle me
searching the wounded places
     weaving notes of healing
I am
dancing through galaxies
moving to a melody
     composed for me
I am
breath being breathed
life unfolding
     love sustaining me
I am
your essence
eternally present
     the ground of my being
I am
