Stop and Breathe

Stop and Breathe

                       Sometimes I need to stop and breathe
                          sit still and calm my busy mind.
                           Reflect upon my inner seethe
                      collect my thoughts and then I’ll find,
                                     a clearer me,
                                   refreshed I’ll be.

                   To plan ahead, my angst shall sheathe
                             so, I’m longer in a bind.
                       Create myself a lovely wreathe
                      that when I need, I can unwind
                                  to free my soul,
                                    retain control.
