Poetry: innerspace by Amanda McLeod
innerspace
Retreat to the void within
breathe
release
Watch interstellar space expanding
inside you
Journey between the stars
of your internal galaxy
Let the quiet speak to you
voiceless
Surrender to the infinite
Celestial bodies glow and burn
into existence in the cavity of
your abdomen / your heart
is a silent supernova
pulsing with constant life force
And as the universes of others orbit you
in a storm of stardust and movement
know always, you can return
to your innerspace
Inhale the stillness
Feel your own life in the vacuum
