The ground
I needed 38 years and a sleepless night
To find the ground on which I stand
It will guide me through the darkest night
And lead me to a calmer land
A kingdom within, of being content
This gift, it's fitting it comes on my birthday
For I feel like it's from heaven send
Breathing deeply, in and out
Close my eyes and focus on this
I don't need any video or sound
Just me and my breath and my body knows bliss
My breath is with me until I die
It helps me to exist without a why
Step into being instead of doing
I don't know where my life will be going
But I know deep breathing will always be with me
For the simplest things create beauty abound
It gives me a sense of being free
This is my creed, and this is my ground
To find the ground on which I stand
It will guide me through the darkest night
And lead me to a calmer land
A kingdom within, of being content
This gift, it's fitting it comes on my birthday
For I feel like it's from heaven send
Breathing deeply, in and out
Close my eyes and focus on this
I don't need any video or sound
Just me and my breath and my body knows bliss
My breath is with me until I die
It helps me to exist without a why
Step into being instead of doing
I don't know where my life will be going
But I know deep breathing will always be with me
For the simplest things create beauty abound
It gives me a sense of being free
This is my creed, and this is my ground

Author's Note
Deep breathing is good for both physical and psychological health in a variety of ways. Sitting down and breathing deeply for a few minutes, or even just taking a few deep breaths, might be the absolute simplest thing you can do to improve your health and well-being. And I find that it is easier to be content with just existing when I breathe deeply.
