the perfect breath

an unintentional breath
in a state of serene
as
if floating on a calm sea


or perhaps
weightless
set a drift
on a cumulus

 

the mind
totally unwound
left
in a space
without time

 

breathing
with no
conscious effort

 

breathing
in the quiet
of a baby’s breath

 

breathing
in absolute repose

 

breathing
softly
faintly
the breath slows

 

for in the state
of mindful rest
1 needs less

 

in finding
your perfect breath
