BREATHE  (II)  (6-30-96, Galveston Island, Texas)

 
 
breathe  
 
empty of  
 
all  
 
reflection  
 
be still  
 
in stillness  
 
soft  
 
calm stillness  
 
still  
 
as rock  
 
rock  
 
that breathes  
 
tracing air  
 
in and  
 
out of  
 
you  
 
like canyons  
 
and mountain  
 
tops  
 
where in  
 
between  
 
empty plains  
 
will lay  
 
wide open  
 
for you  
 
wide  
 
as any  
 
sea  
 
quietly awaiting  
 
within  
 
inviting you  
 
softly into  
 
the peaceful  
 
flow  
 
of all  
 
eternity  
 
as you  
 
simply  
 
breathe in
 
the expansive  
 
formless  
 
oneness  
 
you
 
already are
 
but may have
 
long forgotten
 
yet now may
 
become

more consciously

aware of
 
again
 
through
 
your conscious

breath alone
 
so

gently close

your eyes

and simply
 
breathe
