Breath

Breathe in,

the quiet hum of the earth beneath.

Breathe out,

a ripple of calm spreading wide.

Feel the soft cradle of the air—

cool against your skin,

a silk thread weaving

into the rhythm of your chest.

Pause,

hear the murmur of unseen streams,

flowing steady,

like your pulse,

gentle, endless.

The sky lingers above,

painted in shifting hues,

clouds dissolve,

then gather,

a reminder to let go,

and begin again.

Rest in this moment.

Feel the ground holding you,

its steady patience,

its silent strength.

Listen.

The wind calls low,

a tender hand brushing the leaves.

The scent of rain,

whispers of the earth

offered up to the open sky.

Breathe.

Let your mind unfurl,

like a petal greeting the sun.

Here is stillness.

Here is peace.

Pause once more.

Feel the spaces between the words.

In the quiet,

you are whole.
