inhale the world's woes that's where the love goes June Bugs start to fly clouds fall from the sky light becomes the peace cares shrink down and cease moments in the breeze try to touch the trees rays burst from the sun melt joys into one white doves land nearby angels know just why breathe out deep held love turn to gaze above Couplet 63 words 6/30/23 Meditation dream imagery featuring Seigaiha wave graphic (Kanagawa), white doves and a Tibetan monk Colored pencil illustration by G.

I'm gonna skip inhaling the world's woes for now. But I'll breathe in and breathe out deep held love every time. Nice poem Greg

This is superb Greg..as is your illustration. The first two lines are an excellent lead into your couplet and it flows from there. I read this at pace on my first read and then a second time more slowly. The latter lends itself very well to a guided fantasy script - as used as part of relaxation sessions for people with heightened anxiety. Cheers - Gary
