Breathe in
Drops of dew on the petals of a daisy
Piping hot soup on a day that is lazy
Mist over cities, making everything hazy
but the lights poking holes in the skyline
Breathe out
The smell of an oven with an almost-done roast
The wild sea crashing upon a rock-lined coast
Butter melting on a slice of hot toast
With a steaming cup of tea on the side
Breathe in
Washing the dirt off slightly-grazed knees
Finally finding your recently-lost keys
Taking a walk and admiring the trees
And the dappled light that sifts to the ground
Breathe out
Finding a story in which to get lost
Early morning grass with icing-sugar frost
Sunsets and sunrises that only just last
Long enough to look at in wonder
In a world filled with darkness, suffering and pain,
Which throws shadow over any hint of light
You can't stop the sun from rising again
Because everything will be alright.
