Close your eyes
gently slide your finger
down your forehead
along and under
your nose
across each lip
over your chin
slowly slowly
down your throat
neck and chest
breathe
smile to yourself
you are alive.

The wind
was fierce
it blew
with such force
I could barely stand.
I lay down
in the grasses
while it howled
and thrashed
against me.
I called out
to the clouds
until my voice
ran hoarse
my mouth dry.
Invigorated
rejuvenated
and ready
for the long trek
home.
J. Belle

I can feel
the warm sun
through the wool
on my back,
the cool breeze
on my bare face,
taste the salty air
on my tongue.
I feel a refreshing
spray of water
each time I hear
a crashing wave.
I can feel the cold rock
and slick algae
beneath my feet.
I breathe
and exhale…
I am here.
J. Belle

cool
to touch
soft
moist
quiet
refreshing
yet grounding
and peaceful
a moment…
