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…

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
