Breathe (An Original Poem)

in #poetry9 years ago (edited)

In the swirling
red rock dust,

the lone pinyon
pine whispers,

"Relax, your
existence is but
a single breath
in the course
of deep time."

Breathe. Just breathe...


A little about this poem: I wrote this very short poem a few years ago when my wife and I were hiking during a vacation in Sedona, Arizona. Sedona is like no place else on Earth, it's very spiritual. This particular day we hiking to the top of the hill shown in the first picture above. We sat there in silence taking in the beauty and uniqueness of this desert landscape...red rock and sand for as far as we could see. For a brief moment it felt like we were on a completely different planet altogether.
