Renewal

Posted on August 5, 2019 by purplepeninportland

Written for:  Poetic Bloomings2 – Prompt #254 – “Second Wind”
“Everything takes an effort. Big or small, we do our best to complete the task at hand. And even if we stumble along the way, we find we can pick ourselves up and go on. We begin again, get our second wind.

So, to restart the POETIC BLOOMINGS foray into poetry, you are asked to write a “second wind” poem. What did you refuse to get the best of you? What required that little extra for you to get things done? Breathe some fresh air into your words!”

There are times
my mind is too full
and it spins
like a wheel.
Simple breathing in and out,
meditation mends.

It slows my heart rate.
I have come to depend on
its calming
stillness. I
am renewed, at least
for a time.

About purplepeninportland

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
