When my back is aching,
My ears buzzing,
My head throbbing and swirling
With countless demands,
Impossible hills to climb
There is a sure way
To release myself
To feel free
To breathe again at a normal speed.
I let my legs lead me
To bodies of water
To let my eyes fill up
With ripples or waves
To let my ears hear
Trickles or crashes
To feel myself being swallowed up
Immersed as the fish
Then floating lazily as the ducks.
Then does my heart slow
From a frenzied sprint
To a comfortable stroll.
I stretch my spine,
I become taller
Swaying with the trees.
