The rhythm of life, a cycle to live by;
a daily routine....
Challenges, obstacles, and struggles
become our focus, we lose track of
time even our place, our mind
wonders in a space we create;
we accustom ourselves to automatic
pilot breathing losing the practice to
simply take a deep breath, exhale,
and breathe again-
Relieve all stress, control your mind,
meditate, and learn to stop, let time
stand still and breathe-
I was an impatient man, my wants
were now never later; now never
came, and later took forever....
On a Black Sunday my grandmother
died, and my daughter was born;
she was full of color, hope, joy, and
reassurane; I knew then better days
were ahead....
I smiled, I cried tears of happiness;
I held her close to my heart, took a
deep breath, exhaled, and breathe
again....patience settled; I now wait,
if things are meant to be it will be!
day by day we must learn to breathe
again.
