Breath

These voices are loud

The sky is blue

Count the clouds

Breath through your mouth

Deep breaths

Remove your hand from the bottle

No don't look at the time

Feel the warmth from outside

Listen to the music

Feel the rhythm

Tap your feet along to the beat

Let the wind and the music take you away

Feel that smile on your face

Close your eyes and lookup

The sun glowing on your face

So beautiful, so peaceful

Leave the worries behind

Leave the pain behind

Worry about it later

Enjoy this moment

Cherish this forever

I agree my friend.
"Leave the worries behind
Leave the pain behind
Worry about it later
Enjoy this moment
Cherish this forever "
The above lines. We must do. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

It sounds as though the speaker is trying to deal with inner stresses by focusing the attention. Letting go of the bottle is a major good step. Then, by turning the attention to sensory experiences and grounding in the present moment, the negatives are left behind. Seems to be a solid strategy; keep at it.

Happy Easter! I would hope that the narrator in your poem is speaking to him/herself. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a pep talk about looking at life thru kinder eyes. I don't like the idea of telling other people how to look at life, tho, & that's why I don't read this message in that way. Strongly affirming upbeat outlook (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Winding down, concentrating on breathing and the moment. Shutting out the noise of the day, tuning in to music and switching off. How lovely is that to do. We all need interludes like this Nomo.

this reads very much like the start of my meditation before i slowly blank my mind I try to reach a state of awareness and slowly break it down to nothing to allow the breeze of thought flow start to course its way through my mind to run free

I have tried medication to help me before, but it never seemed to work. I started to be more outdoorsy after a few incidents in life. Writing and drawing, outside seem to be calming and sweet to me. the fun part of letting a mind run free is that you never know where it will take you.
