Breathe Continued

Breathe ~ Continued Yes breathe… Deeply, then allow your lungs to exhale as your guide glides your weightless form through the whitest shades of pale Do not resist, do not fight the feelings of ecstasy night wants you to behold Yielding to a greater force, at times, is more profitable than gold When night claims you like a wayward leaf of old, the smoothest seductive music will gradually unfold Let night en’trance you, rid you of any mal thoughts or frights Relax and enjoy a plethora of magical sounds and sights Yes, hold all your questions until the end then let night’s metaphorical ears bend! Navigating you beyond wildest dreams gold is a burden to carry as you peruse yet unseen, crystal prism-speckled streams When night claims you like a wayward leaf of old Carpe Diem for your trip will be repeatedly told Breathing almost back on auto now, be still, snap a mental picture of the experience of which you now endow yes exhale… Sunshine Williams

Jill, is this not your work? You have reached deep into my soul with this. I've had insomnia for years. Now I have heart diseases, diabetes and all of it. I've also developed things like ears ringing and hands tingling that always start, just as I'm drifting off and prevent me form doing so. A bit of a snowball effect. Don't let it happen to you.

Mike this is my work, but it's a continuation of Mystic Rose's piece for her contest ~ Breathe
