Hot Breath of a Primal Yes

Contributor: Scott Thomas Outlar

- -
When I weep
it is in primal acceptance
of life
exactly as it is…

all the suffering
and
all the joy…
all the failures
and
all the successes

It is in the moments
of our greatest downfalls
that we create the visions
of what we will be
once having risen again
and readied ourselves…

for war
and
for peace…
for blood
and
for breath
