Take a moment
Close your eyes and
Turn your gaze within
To see the untamed
Wilderness
Beneath your sacred skin
Sense the winding
River of breath
Cascading cool and sweet
Relax and let it
Caress your belly
And flow into your feet
Notice the vines
Of muscle and sinew
Wrapped o’er limbs of bone
Poised to run
To leap or fly
Strength that is your own
Explore the landscape
Of your soul
The valleys lush and green
Each bloom a reminder
Of radiance
Of moments you felt seen
Dive into an ocean
Of secrets hidden
Beneath the surface waves
Climb steep and rugged
Mountains to rest in
Quiet-moment caves
Reclaim the forest
Of your mind
Decayed by others fears
Clear away falsehoods
Polluting thoughts that
Poisoned you for years
Restore the heat
Between your legs
Where shame has made you numb
You pulse, you ache
To feel again
Receive and come undone
Dance in gardens
Where your desires
Flutter and taunt you to chase
Ride bareback
On your passion
Let it carry you with grace
Step closer to
Your wild heart
Savage and restless to be free
It paces and growls
Behind steel bars of
What others expect you to be
Remember yourself
It’s time to howl
To shriek, to growl, to roar
Claw your way out
Refuse to be
Held captive anymore
You are a fierce beauty and
Your heart will no longer be caged
