Poem: "There is a space"

*

There is a space
around your heart, a once rigid
space where judgment was
uncomfortably wedged,

now just air,
filled with a breath
that previously you were
scared to breathe with,

now as it were
the lodging of prayer
too full to censure
itself or any other

creature.
Mere prayer.

*
