Written for: Poets United Midweek Motif~Open/Openness
What do the motifs of open and openness help you to think about? What’s the first thing that comes to mind?
Breath coming easier, pace relaxing
as all I can see in front
of me is a vast ocean of blue,
hypnotic in its gentle movement,
soothing in its sound.
I spread my arms without sight
knowing no one is next to me.
I take a gulp of salt scent
and feel my skin dampen
and breathe.
the best place to breathe….

Space inside to breathe – yes..that is truly being open – succinctly and beautifully drawn – like a deep breath

We all need space. Salt is a bonus.

Yes, openness, indeed. Sometimes just knowing that those places exist helps me to breathe easier, helps me to open–but being there is best.
