Someone Tell Me Please

Driving in my car not too very far, I take a cleansing breath, then let the air release. Is this done for peace? I don’t even practice Zen. Somewhere I once read: Bodies should be fed with a lot of oxygen. Burn more calories! Someone tell me please: Those results. . . I’ll notice when??

OH my it takes a lot of IN & OUT breathing..remember when Gran said count to 10 well at least ten to calm down I think..the repetition of the deep breathing during times of stress will over time teach your body what you want it to do CALM DOWN! light & love

love the questioning ending - very realistic. Enjoyed feeling as if i'm inside your head in this poem - 'in Andrea's head' would make a good title for a future poem. good luck in the contest.
