breathe

finally a moment

to catch your breath

before you fall

deep

into a well of confusion  

do I crawl, do I run

do I take my time

inhale…hold it (1, 2,3…)

exhale… slowly (1,2,3…)

you feel peace

creeping

into your skin

take the palm

of your hands

and place it

on either side of your head

massage it slowly with your

fingers

close your eyes.

inhale…

exhale…

don’t think

be still and listen

to your body

feel your strength
