Breathe In

Breathe in a bit of fresh air,

Of Sylvan scent and pines.

Take a whiff of nature's bounty,

Away from cents & dimes.

Breathe in a bit of morning dew.

Of lilac and scarlet rose.

Lose yourself in the glory of dawn,

Beyond all poetry and prose.

Breathe in a bit of placid sea,

Of seagulls on the dock.

Bask your soul in the distant horizon,

Sans any watch or clock.

Breathe in a bit of rainy earth,

Drops of perspiration & toil.

Bury your fears in earth's cradle,

Of quarry, grain and soil.

Feel your breath, In and Out,

The palpation of your heart.

Take a step back from all the world's strife.

And breathe in a bit of...

Life.

:)
