BREATHE

BREATHE

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

Pictures painted in the sky.

You won’t notice until you fly.

There is beauty all around.

You won’t see it, till you slow down,

And breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

 

Melody is in the air.

You won’t hear it, if you don’t care.

Turn the noise down in your mind.

Listen to the sound you find,

And breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

 

Let the pain go from within,

Only pleasure on your skin.

Let  love emanate your soul.

Help your body to be whole,

And breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

 

Open up your heart to feel.

Allow love to cure, to heal.

Notice blessings, as you live,

Multiplying as you give,

And breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

You are right, we can only see and experience beauty if we slow down or even stop for a moment, if we stop the thoughts in our heads and listen to what is outside of us, if we let it all breakthrough our guards and open our heart, mind, and soul. And breathe in and out.

This is quite refreshing; I like it. Blessings, and this poem, remind me of a summer's breeze. This is so relaxing. Excellent! :)
