Zen and the Art of Breathing…
you breathe
it goes unnoticed and without conscious thought
… until a grief robs you temporarily
of all ability
to do more than gasp in hyperventilated rasps…
first breathe
… first breatheas squalling squint eyed babe
vast eons of unexploited insight
consciousness poured into human form
your vessel, for this life, from the moment born…
you learn to breath away pain-
- breathe in…. sunrises & sunsets
… breathe in first loves and last loves
and a life in between….
second breath
…. as new awareness enters the soul
or the rebirth
of a forgotten awareness from times of old
you breathe
with chest-restricting awe- induced
wonderment
at Natures soft and tender ways
and human compassions found
when walls crumble away…
breathing in all that is right with the day…
and breathing out the pain…
… breathe in now… deeply… fully
draw in the essence of your own aura
inhale the heady liberation of free-will
for with every breath you take
you exercise your right
to your beliefs… your loves
your chosen way of life…
be free
and
breathe peace.
