Envision this, breathe how I breathe, and listen…
To the chatters of young gossipers and cicadas filling the seemingly rowdy night
In the skies lie twinkling dreams, along with hopes of home
As everything around becomes soundless and empty
Crisp air caressing you as the rays of a new day reflect upon the water
These moments are a time of undoubtful beauty
A time of peace, a time of thought, a time of understanding
For realizing, the beauty that is silence
The beauty that is nature
When suddenly…that spider you saw earlier doesn’t seem so terrifying
And in that brief moment, you feel as though you can forget
As though you can feel the stress being carried away by the wind and the pleasant, sometimes
disturbing, songs of the birds lifting your soul into the trees
Then and there, you feel whole
You feel still
You feel like you can breathe
And so, you go again and again,
Just to feel that moment, just to breathe….
