The Beauty of the Day

I inhale.

I exhale.

I sit with myself—

present in my body,

my mind,

my spirit.

I inhale life, energy, gratitude.

I exhale life, energy, gratitude,

and offer it back

to the beauty of the day.

Streams of sunshine

filter through my window.

Slow jazz hums in the background—

the rhythm of life

pulsing through my veins.

There is a lightness in my heart

I haven’t felt

in what seems like forever.

Today feels easy—

like a gift, wrapped perfectly.

I inhale.

I exhale.

I bask

in the beauty of the day.
