Underwater

Underwater,
Hardly breathing,
Unsure of where the surface is,
Unable to see in the darkness,
Drowning in the thoughts, the stories, crashing through my head,
I forget how to breath when I cannot see the light,
Suffocating.

Until one breath reminds me,
And I pull myself up,
I emerge,
Refreshed,
Alive,
I remember to breathe
Connected.

I allow my breath
To fill me,
To guide me,
To find me
I allow my Self to open,
to me.
