Breathe.
Breathe in,
Deep, long breaths. Draw in all the air you can hold
And release. Easy. Pause your thoughts for a moment.
Just breathe.
Deep, long breaths. In through the nose, out through the mouth.
Let the air flow through and calm concerns.
Breath is an interesting thing.
The passing air drifts in, drifts out,
And somehow can cleanse the whole body.
Breath turns to sighs. Why?
In a sigh air is trapped and held,
Then released all at once with sorrow.
Sighs are just breath accompanied by emotion.
A sigh of contentment, fueled by the cool night air.
A sigh of longing, as wishes are sent to the wind.
A sigh of exhaustion, when the mind is too tired,
And all that is left to do
Is to breathe.
Breath is an interesting thing.
It lets us express and de-stress, confess what we feel,
All without saying a word.
So breathe.
Deep, long breaths. Just to remind yourself you’re alive.
To empty out and let go, to refresh.
Just breathe.
Deep, long breaths. Pull in the freshness of the air.
Fill your lungs and feel a moment’s relief.
Breathe.
