I have a title for the below poem but since it's also the title of my upcoming poetry/art book, I want it to be a surprise! (I love surprises!) With lots of flow and magic (which I'm fully envisioning) I'm hoping you won't have to wait too long.

You don't have to wait
a second longer
to move
You don't have to try
Breather of life
to be Seen
and understood
one who despite-
I know how very tired you are.
You can let go now.
all you so perfectly are.
Simply breathe
can shimmy
Oh friend. How did you know my soul needed to hear this? Thank you.

You won't believe this, but "shimmy" appears to be one of the words of 2012 for me :)
