As I Close My Eyes

As I close my eyes:

Breathe in.
Breathe out.

As my eyes are closed,
I don't speak.
I don't think.
I don't move.

Breathe in.
Breathe out.

As my eyes are closed,
I feel.
I cry out with my heart.
With all that I am.
No words can describe.

Breathe in.
Breathe out.

As my eyes are closed,
I feel tears slip beneath the lids.

Breathe in.
Breathe out.

As my eyes are closed,
I feel lighter.

Breathe in.
Breathe out.

As I slowly open my eyes,
I know I'm forgiven.
