Reflective Meditation- Poetry
Breathe Deeply Exhale Slowly
Breathe deeply and please refrain
From reminiscing back to hurtful pain
Just let the moment soothe, caressing you as it takes you away
To distant shores of sweet yesterday
Breathe deeply, exhale slowly once more
Eyes closed, the inner soul reaching for an unopened door
Even though it is snowing again outside
You're toasty warm inside
Breathe deeply, exhale slowly let the moment live within
Where thoughts calmly take you to a higher horizon
Savor the distance you have traveled thus far
Listen fervently as the rolling tide guides you toward a twinkling star
Envision the fluffy clouds as they form images of angels and heavenly hosts
Trumpets, singing, laughter the golden gate posts
Breathe deeply, exhale slowly and dream of a bright sunlit day tomorrow
Where everything is in perfect harmony, void of inward sorrow
Soon warmth will again cover this frigid earth
And bring back bubbling brooks and seeds of miraculous new birth.
I wrote this yesterday when it was snowing again. I hope you have the time to watch the video. It is wonderfully relaxing.
Ruby, this is absolutely amazing. I love the sentiment in this poem. Breathe deep. You and Pink Floyd have the right idea!
Ruby,
Pls check this hub. It is amazing how when we are all alike, we think alike. I have written some on similar lines. Our thoughts resemble.

This is stunningly beautiful. You gave me a feeling of relaxing serenity with hope and beauty before me.
Superb imagery and great choice of words, Ruby.
(did you mean 'angles' or 'angels'? I really wasn't sure!)
I agree with Bill that this is the best of your poems so far.

Ruby, I just reread this lovely poem and noticed something. In the title poetry has a typo.."poerty" should be.."poetry"
Most expressive and inspirational
Ruby, you are so sweet! I loved this poem on Meditation. It's actually true - we do hear sounds sometimes during Meditation. It's quite peaceful. Much Love.
Hi Ruby - You wove these words so well. I enjoyed this poetry and look forward to more.
"Savor the distance you've travelled thus far"; words that accompany and comfort the action of breath.

Hi, I read this before and I thought I left a comment..:( hmm.. well anyways.. reread it and I still love it
I feel the great expressions here so true to keep the mind at peace.
"Soon warmth will again cover this frigid earth
And bring back bubbling brooks and seeds of miraculous new birth."
I can feel the stress abate, replaced with soothing peace and warmth. Your words drift on the wings of the notes in the music video...calling, healing, and more. Thank you! Hugs.
shucks ruby, you touch my soul
Good poetry to meditate by. Here we are trying to stay cool inside under the air con....too hot outside. Well done Ruby.
Ruby this is great, and wonderful, love it.
I am so glad you are writing poetry
Blessings and Hugs
Ruby, I do believe this is my favorite of all the things you have written. Simply beautiful, dear friend. I'm breathing deeply in your honor. :)
Just reading this had me breathing deeply and I felt the stress leaving my body!

Well it works for me. I will breathe deeply and repeat. Nice.

Nice! I could hardly wait! A fun way of teaching or inspiring others. Excellent!
P.S: You're the one sitting in the lotus with the hands out in mudra pose and perfect poise, right?
