Pink Rhododendron

For breath is life, and if you breathe well, you will live long on earth. Sanskrit Proverb


Three Deep Breaths

Something Beautiful
First bloom
Bursts open from a plant 
In the earth
Not yet a year.
Low to the ground
Brilliant petals of pink
Cluster together to 
A boquet
An offering 
Waiting to be seen.

Breath Meditation
My breath, swirling light
Reaching inward to
The recessess of 
A deep wound.
The doors, open now
by love.
She can receive and breathe.
Quiet and dark
A child
Longing to be known
By those who
Value life
Sits
Receiving what was meant 
To be.
In the stillness of a breath
I am embraced.
