I am Safe, I am Free

I drop my body into the bath. 

Saltwater blankets the heartache.

The burden of being 

begins to soften 

as breath becomes 

the balm.

Then you 

arrive.

Eight years after 

your body died,

invisible angel, 

you visit me 

in silence

and you say:

I am safe

I am free

You have permission

to release the pain 

of your grief.

Change 

your missing me

into loving me 

and loving all 

that you love.
