Breath of the Moment

Breathe in—

the air tastes of morning,

cool, sweet,

like dew resting on the tongue.

Breathe out—

a slow release,

soft as a drifting cloud.

Pause.

Feel the rhythm,

gentle, steady,

like waves meeting the shore.

A single leaf floats downward,

its path unhurried,

spiraling, resting

on the quiet earth.

Each moment holds

its own stillness.

Breathe again.

The sun reaches low,

warming your shoulders

in golden strokes.

The breeze lingers,

barely a touch,

yet enough to remind

you are alive.

Pause here.

Let time unfold,

soft and forgiving.

The stream hums softly,

its path unbroken,

its flow constant,

yet ever-changing.

Rest.

Close your eyes to see more,

to feel more.

The world holds its breath with you,

waiting,

watching,

as the moment deepens.

Breathe in,

breathe out,

and let the rhythm carry you,

like a heartbeat,

like a wave,

like something eternal.
