Room for Me

September 16, 2005

There is room in my heart for you...
and you,
and you,
and you.

There is room,
for I have finally learned
to breathe.

Inhale, exhale...
Inhale, exhale.

And suddenly, there are
so many rooms to fill,
I cannot possibly imagine anything
more exhilarating than
keeping house
within this space which I once
called my madness, my chaos,
which I now call

(inhale, exhale)

my masterpiece.

There is room in my heart for more
than what I had known...

There is room for a son,
and (perhaps) for a lover;
there is room for so very many others...

There is room for love to grow and breathe;
inhale, exhale, live, scream;
run free and give all there is to give.

I had begun to feel
claustrophobic,
but there is room.

Thank God,

there is room

for me.
