Just Breathe

A moment of calm ...

Close your eyes

 

 

 

 

Inhale

 

 

Arms extend slowly
Fingers touch
A crescendo deep inside
Begins to build

 

 

Exhale

 

 

A silhouette on the shore
Waves create a melody
Clouds light as body
Dancing for no one

 

 

Inhale

 

 

Rays of the sun
Bouncing off the water
Stretching toward the light
Fingers brush the sky

 

 

Exhale

 

 

Laboriously, slowly
Sway to the sound
A cello pierces the air
The waves crash

 

 

Inhale

 

 

A distant pulse
Calls from the sea
Light slips into water
Clouds glow brilliantly

 

 

Exhale

 

 

Feet slide through sand
Spinning in time
Music floats tranquilly
Fingers brush stars

 

 

Inhale

 

 

A tear falls
Joining the sand
Lapped up by waves
A part of Earth

 

 

Exhale

 

 

Cello music stills
Waves crash
Movement slows
At peace with self

 

 

 

 

Open your eyes

It is amazing what we notice when, engulfed by silence, we concentrate what takes place around us. Just breathe. Let no thoughts clutter your mind, and the whole world fills your mind with pictures and sounds.
I love your picturesque speech, how you bring the scene to life. Nicely written. Very enjoyable.

Wow I feel more relaxed already, your words echo of calm and serene and put me in a beautiful state of mind.

Really love those lines it's like you reconnect with the earth and nature... stunning piece.

wow... this is amazing... it reminded me of doing yoga - imagining yourself in a clam, beautiful place, inhaling and exhaling deeply (or perhaps that was your point?) either way, lovely write, Dezaraye!

This is so calming. Were you calm when you wrote it or did you use the words to calm yourself down? Just wondering.

[Steven Williams]

This was absolutely beautiful, I found myself inhaling and exhaling with each verse. Close your eyes, relax, what do you hear? what do you feel? The last line "Open your eyes" it was like saying to the audience how do you feel now? what do you see? This is truly inspiring and brilliantly written.
