If I breathe in deeply
And pay attention to the depth
When I blend into the pause at the end
I find
That the world outside falls away
As if there were no such thing as
Today
The pause becomes the now
And the only
And suddenly
I’m wide open
There is space
For miracles to present their winking eyes
For the stars of my mind to blink brighter than they ever could
In yesterday or tomorrow
The now holds the space
For the inspiration to flourish
Like the first almond blossom in spring
And the last snowflake to brush against the hardened earth in winter
It all happens in a single precious moment
The realisation
That everything I could ever want
Could ever need
Could ever be
Is here
And now
And in nowhere else
