Breathe

I close my eyes
And sit crosslegged
Trying to focus on my breath

Breathe

Past and present
Pleasant and unpleasant
Combine

Breathe

My body is a bead of sweat
A heartbeat
A tickling feeling in the nose
A pain in my knee

Breathe

A headache
A growl in my stomach
A tear in my eye

Breathe

My mind is still swirling
Recapturing pictures from the past
And painting pictures I want to see

Breathe

Causing anguish
Its not real
Leaving me pained
I cant do it anymore

Breathe

Give me noise
Give me colour
Give me passion

Breathe

I ride high on a wave
Pulsating through my body
like an bolt of electricity

Breathe

It wont last.Nothing lasts
the body is a vehicle
But does my mind have to be the passenger?
