Enough

 by Ríonach Aiken  

Enough

One day I will breathe
and let my body be
and be in it.
And it may be
that I offer nothing
to the world
but my being
and my being in it.
And that is all.


- Ríonach Aiken

*This poem was formerly called Prayer. But that title didn't stick for so many people who love it and keep it close. When people started referring to it as the Enough poem, I knew I'd found its true name.
