On the Wing of the Breath [a poem]

By on • ( 8 Comments )

By Cynthia Cady Stanton | Featured Contributor

Create some wind.
No matter what swirls around you,
add some air to it.
Whether it is a sigh 
or a deep gulp,
get it going.

Don’t get caught in the holding of your inner breezes.
This only creates pain…
Life is born in and through us
and it is only on the wing of our precious breath
that we can unfold and float
among the mountains and valleys.

This is what breathing is –
working with life.
And working with life,
is why we are here.
