Breathe it all in

Years of facing out
Life in front of you
Ruled by all the things
Clouding the view

There comes a time when
Your eyes face inward
Into the vastness
That has been ignored

Reach into yourself
Breathe it all in
There's life within you
Breathe it all in

Life in front of me
My legacy since
Academia
Years needing to rinse

Now looking inside
The inside of me
The core of my being
Boundless dormancy

Reach into myself
Take it all in
There's life within me
Take it all in

Alacrity
Submerge yourself
Vitality
Within yourself

And breathe it all in
There's life within you
Take it all in

Reach and feel and breathe
Reach and feel and breathe
And love what you are
And what you've become
