The sights and smells Of this city I’ve come to know... So well I gaze... Across the turquoise ocean Where the waves Liberate my spirit... From its shell I breathe in... The brilliant sky line Where the birds Emerge shyly From the dappled sunshine I breathe in... The gently... Blowing winds That soothe me Like a mother, around her child I breathe in... The sounds of laughter Pure and pretty Like the golden-green butterfly I’m always after I breathe in... The closeness, I have always shared With people, Who almost knew me, Almost cared I breathe in... The comfort Of my home, The safe walls, The scents of childhood On the pillows I breathe in...The silence Of my own heart Aching with tenderness... With memories.. Of home I breathe... In... The fragrance Of love, and moist sand The one... His roses left... On both my hands And I just keep on breathing Every moment As much as I can Preserving it, in my body For the day It can’t So I breathe in.. Once again.. Feeling life's energy Fizzing through my cells Never knowing What awaits me Or what's going to happen to me.. Next I breathe in This moment... Knowing it's either life Or it's death I close my eyes, And breathe in Just believing in myself.","author":"Sanober Khan","tags":["breathe","breathe-in","city","energy","family","home","laughter","memories","nostalgic","poem","poems","poet","poetry","poetry","poets","safe","skyline","soul","warm","warmth"],"id":34327,"author_id":"Sanober+Khan"},{"text":"If you are feeling stressed out, stop and take 10 deep breaths...It really does help!
