The power of breath
It hides in plain sight
Every moment a fresh breath flows
The mind’s unaware where it goes
Being mindful of that whiff of air
The damage that’s done, we can repair
The mind is hurting, we must confess
We are pushing it, in the name of progress
It needs a break, it’s part human
Forgive it, for causing such confusion
Being mindful can be turned into a game
Like a child after a fall, without shame
When we rise up and run again
We can dust off all traces of pain
The element of freshness is under our nose
When we’re aware of it, it shows
The mind becomes a placid lake
Its soothing waters heal every heartache
With every breath, we taking in a part
Of the sky, from nature, we’re never apart
There are countless invisible thoughts in air
When we are fully aware, we know it’s there
It is up to us to smoothen the wave
We can do it by watching the breath cave
It has the keys to the secret chambers…
