Reminder...Note To Self Poem by Susan Lacovara

Reminder...Note To Self

Rating: 5.0


Keep breathing...
even when the day dragged on like molasses...
even as every step taken was in quicksand...
even if the forecasted sunlight never appeared...

Keep breathing...
as deeply as your lungs will allow...
as softly as the wings of a butterfly...
as slowly as that damn clock ticking, ticking, ticking...

Keep breathing...
focusing on the exhaled impatience
that sometimes suffocates the simplest of tasks...
expell what overwhelms you....Keep breathing...
Note to self....

Reminds me of a favorite pastime... remembering to exhale all the way to the surface...: -)

Just breathe...I think it really is that simple, and you captured that perfectly in this poem Susan. And thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment on one of my poems. Be well, be free...Scott
