4 AM

Pitch black
Warm bed
Breeze of the fan.
You whisper:
I love you,
Don’t be afraid.

Stillness
Quiet
Only the sound of my Breath.
You whisper:
You got this.
Be still and be OK.

4 AM.
Awake again.
You whisper.
I listen.
I will be OK.

Oprah, you are such an inspiration to me and others. Thank you for being yourself and encouraging others to be authentically themselves.
