Breathe
IN
The open air.
Expanding the edges of your being.
Like an ocean wave
coming into the shore.
HOLD
In this fullness.
Feel the drumming of your heart.
As the flowing water
seeps into the earth.
OUT
With the ocean.
Washing away tension and fear.
Erasing marks of the stories
that are no longer yours.
STAY
In this stillness.
A quiet peace.
Floating in the void.
Surrender to the depths.
. . .
When you find yourself lost
in the storm of mind
Your breath is what moves you
through the passage of time.
Anchor in the here and now.
Let go and let it flow.
Don’t hold your breath.
Breathe easy.
For one day the ocean
itself will dissolve.
Dissipating into mist.
Returning home
to the stars.
