breathe

breathe in light

from pink rain dappled dogwood blossoms

rest in the cascade of peace

that elements of nature made

soothe your soul on this

silent symphony

as the quiet purr of life flows all around you

relish in the resplendence of light

reflected in puddles of water

sense the closeness of being

so full

of the meaning

frenetic busyness

chases away

the gift of the day

is most sweetly sensed in silence

by the soul that breathes it in

breathing out the things

that shattered

and in shattering

restored the scattered fragments of your soul

to light
