A Breath.

A breath. Deep. Slow.
A breath, arms around the one I love.
Holding Held.
Emotional breathing room
when it is needed the most.
A breath. Deep. Slow.
Eternal, even as I am not.

About this poem.

About the power of slow, deep, mindful breathing. About the power of a hug from someone who matters. Poetry is never about one thing.

Be well. Travel wisely,
