Reflective Meditation- Poetry

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.
