Lying there
Lying
There
Listening to my breath
Or telling myself
I am listening to my breath
When I am really not listening
But trying to control
What is coming in
And going out
Listen
It’s okay
To just listen
To your breath
Try
Just listening
Breathing in
Breathing out
You know, I tell myself,
You will breathe anyway
Even if you are not listening
So get in touch with what your body is doing
Not what you want it to do
Not to breathe to your schedule
But simply let your body breathe
In response
To everything it knows
About the way you are
Just listen
What do you want?
I ask myself
What I want
Really
Is to breathe
Just breathe
At one
With myself
