Breath

Feeling the inhale
Flowing through my capillaries
Oxygenating my blood
Energizing my body
Strengthening my muscles
Concentrating on my breath
Slowing down the exhale
Watching the bubbles
Suspending the noise
Stopping the world each breath at a time
Listening to my heart
Hearing the ripples in the water as my hands break the surface
Relaxing into the rhythm
Inhaling, exhaling, repeat
Enjoying the stillness
Enveloping in the music of silence
