Dawn

"Breath is a connecting force. It creates a bodily equilibrium and balance. It connects the human being with the outside world and the outside world with his inner world." Ilse Middendorf 


Three Deep Breaths

Something Beautiful
Two pillows

Gary lies asleep
Eyes closed, head resting on a pillow.
It is dawn.
The light barely illuminates the contours of his face
And my pillow next to his.
Love fills the space.

Six years ago today, we met for the first time.

Breath Meditation
Breath courses through me.
Blood awakens.
Light touches my closed eyelids,
Touches the wave of my breath
and illuminates me.
