After grey days it is good to remember to breath deeply, to remind oneself that each day comes only once…

.

Raise your head

.

Raise your head, lift your eyes –

See the drifting clouds redraw themselves

in stories of the sky

 .

Leave alone your counting –

Business cards and calendar days,

hours spent in traffic

 .

Straighten your back, lift your shoulders –

Breathe deep into your consciousness

the shifting colours of passing day

 .

No more slouching, shallow breathing –

Jagged streams of consciousness

through restless, sleepless hours

 .

Raise your arms, raise your voice –

Feel the pulse of vitality,

be counted amongst the living
