Breathe and Be- Savita Narayan

Whirling in a wild dance, I stumble out of

My mind, my body,

And as I do

I see wings, flapping trapping wind

I see streams

The sun skiing, snorkelling on tides

Stone spilling stillness and sunshine

Whispering sweet nothing to the sky

Clouds roaring with laughter, breathing spring

Into the bird who stomps in style

Time falls as I fly

I die before I die

All of life- a car journey

Fleeting, dreaming

here then there

Sometimes Mountain peak calling

Then Foothill weed kissing

Stop

Still

Freeze

Come here

Come within

Still as the tree

Dazzling as the sun

Burst like the cloud full of poems

Stretch both feet- breathe

And with that beam

That lights the world

Declare, I am already here

There’s no where I have to go

No where I have to be

But here, here alone

Breathe and be
