Stillness Evolution

in this breath
there is no tomorrow
no trapping of seconds,

minutes, hours, or days
in muscle tension
but a river of blood

from head to toe
oxygen flowing freely
no dam to obstruct

its natural rhythm
like rain to leaves
to trunk to roots

a tree growing blossoms
or losing leaves
breathing acceptance

As I read this, I felt myself relaxing, back on my pillow, breathing. "like rain to leaves / to trunk to roots" -- lovely.
