Deep Breath

Today a deep breath took me by surprise

I was sitting outside reading a book

Closed my eyes and let the sun rest on my face

Quiet
Peaceful
Birds were chirping

I took a breath and then...

it happened

One of those kind if triple deep breaths you see a little kid have after they have have fought and cried and just gave in to total exhaustion

the "huhh, huhh, huhh" kind of breath

then it happened again

May sound funny, but...

It's been a while for me

Maybe years, not sure

What pace have I been on?

It felt really good

I let the sun take me some more

This is a good place for me
