Focus On Your Breath
When life's chaos
leaves you overwhelmed;
it's roar so loud you can't hear
the sounds of nature,
simply close your eyes and breathe.
Listen to your own thoughts.
Imagine yourself a monk
sitting atop a hill; eyes sealed shut.
Enhale air into your lungs
and let out a prolonged gasp!
Focus on your breath.
Hum to the song of the wind!
Be one with nature and hear
the wind murmur and sigh; let it whisper
secrets unshared into your ear.
Take in the breath of life
and feel utter freedom
in your "happy place."
You'll come away
with a peace of mind.
