Breathing in and out
Forcibly slowing my thunderous heart
Patterning my body to the peace I desire
In order to aspire, first we must aspire.
The elemental breath
begins it all.
Shivers come, stillness falls
just breathe
when all else fails
World around, you are mostly welcome
wild bipolar world
of calm and chaos.
Making sense of it all
will take a tumbling succession
of lifetimes.
Lifetimes to breathe
one deep
inhalation {aspiration} exhalation
after another.
