Just Breathe

Just Breathe
And listen carefully
Between the lines
To the pauses
The respirations

Just breathe
Hear clearly
The rapid drum
That pulses quickly
Song of the heart

Just Breathe
Inhale the experience
The ardent scent
Of a time long past
But still remaining

Just Breathe
Exhale the negative
Release it to the world
Let it glide to the stars
Explode in the Milky Way.

These moments can be lifesavers in alleviating outside influences, stresses and strains, that to me feels like turning your ears off from the noise that is ever present around us, that we don't even notice growing and gnawing away at us until the pressure builds and the cork pops.
Now that I have escaped city life, it is so much easier to just focus on your breath and fully see and feel everything around you.
I may save this for future returns to the city 😀

Sometimes we just need to pause and let the chaos go. I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. You can borrow this any time you travel back to the city,

I’ve started meditation and yoga recently and your poem sounds like good advice.

I agree. I meditate daily to find sleep. Breathing is necessary for the meditation. I liked the old wisdom. If upset. Count to ten and take ten deep breathe. Time to gather words and mind. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

I have anxiety so I use breathing to keep me focused and relax my mind to calm myself

[Coyote Poetry]

We need to stop, breathe and re-gather our thoughts and mind.

Star Gazer did you see a moon out tonight or was the skies just to overcast and your great view did not last but by morning sun and the new day you had won The Good Lord looked down upon you and smiled upon you and said Oh Glorious days ahead.

this is very relaxing to read yet simple and beautifully written

I'm new on here, so it would be an honour if you could review my poems! (my most recent one is called "deep in it" would love to have your feedback on it.

[Poetic Beauty]

Many times my poems are simple. It all depends on my mood.

I liked the peace of this poem, juxtaposed with undercurrents of passion and negativity. It's like life, where we often experience a number of concurrent emotions and thoughts, some of them at odds with one another. A very enjoyable read.

Thank you very much.

"Just Breathe
Inhale the experience
The ardent scent
Of a time long past
But still remaining"

I think the above stanza is my favorite. I love how you describe the scent as "ardent"; it sounds so exciting! so thrilling! And I adore the last two lines. It feels like something that is apart of you returns to the universe, to space, to where our basic parts originated.

Here is the inspiration for this piece and you pick up on the deeper meaning. I had the love of my life years ago. I set him free to go home. We reconnected as friends for awhile then because life we parted ways as friends. As I say he disowned me. lol three months ago he contacted me out of the blue. We have been playing catch up on the last seven years. My universe is realigned. Better as friends than not at all. He is more than 1000 miles from me in real life.

Across distances, a bond attaches you. It's a lovely poem for something you've experienced. :)

[Poetic Beauty]

I know he is my soulmate. We keep coming back to each other time and time again. We just aren't together. It's a bond I can't explain

[LadyAnn68]

Just lovely full of motivation~

Thank you kindly for reading and liking the poem

How many people ever notice that they are breathing. Yet it can reveal so much about our surroundings and emotions.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is very true
