breathe

breathe into your thoughts
before you think
as the mountain breathes into his forests
whispering the silence of the sky
to callous ears covered in snow

breathe into your words
before you speak
as the jaybird breathes into his wings
humming the song of freedom
to meet yet another storm

breathe into your palms
before you touch
as the rosebud breathes into her petals
unfolding her hidden treasure
to receive the blessing of the rain

breathe into your womb
before you create
as the volcano breathes into her depth
kindling the seeds of fire
to melt all fears in its flare

breathe into your soles
before you take this step
as the tree breathes in the earth
bearing the gift of peace
from its roots up to his ripping fruit

breathe into your heart
before you look at me
as the sea breathes in the moon
shaping her silhouette to the tides
that yearn to reach her core
