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. Submitted for... Writing Prompt - Breathe - Poetry Contest Sponsored by Constance La France Words used: breathe, murmur, whisper, gasp, sigh, utter.
