Just Breathe
When life gets too much (Light Breaks Water challenge)

I breathe out
And close my eyes to feel…
The breeze across my skin
**
I breathe deeply
And listen...
for the rustle of leaves overhead
And the slowing beat of my heart
*
I breathe out
To the sound of children laughing in the distance
It pulls at the corners of my mouth
**
I breathe deeply
And feel...
the breeze brushing through the hairs on my legs
And my knees begin to sway
*
I breathe out
And relax my shoulders
**
I breathe deeply
To the warmth of sunlight on my face
*
I breathe out
And let the smile rest freely
**
I breathe deeply
And open my eyes...
I’m okay
*
