Breathe In

The world moves at lightning speed

To only accomplish one single deed

When it’s time to go what will you say

When asked, What did you do this day?

Before it’s too late, take a deep breath

Hold it in, then let it out to stave off death

Could you feel your time standing still

Just for a moment, hear the cry of your will

That is because you chose to breathe in

And fill your spirit with the love within

Now let it out slowly, not too fast

And make the feeling last and last.

Funny, subconsciously as I read this poem I took a deep breath. I did not even realize it until I let it out at the end of the poem. Pretty cool my friend.

Now let it out slowly, not too fast
And make the feeling last and last.

I love this poem! The ending made me think of when I do yoga. Great work! :)

This is a meditative poem. Lots of people are always telling me to breathe. Sometimes, it is easy to forget.
