Breathing

Sometimes we must pause
and take a long,
calming, relaxing breath...
and walk away
from all the pain
the sadness
the disappointments
the everyday ups and downs
and just close our eyes
and imagine a world
peaceful as a field of dandelions
where we walk free
from worry and sadness
where we can lay down
over a green field of grass
and look at the blue sky
clean and clear
where the stars shine
and the moon smiles
back at you
while a butterfly
flies playfully
over your face
and you hear a happy
cardinal singing
at the top of his lungs


just take a deep breath
and imagine that...
