A quiet ding and a soft padding of bare feet

On the wooden floor

Bathed in sunlight

The quiet hush of breath taken together

 

Breathing as one

Together

The soft words spoken over

The quiet breathing

 

Something awoke in me

Listening to the melodic words

Of the yogi

 

A quickening of the heart

A pricking of the ears

A tightening of the toes

 

The beauty

Majestic and fierce

In a simple meditation poem

 

Hours later

I take one breath

One breath, a spark of inspiration

 

Pen to paper

Letters flow into words

A poem is created

From one breath.
