Majestic in flight
Soaring over the water
Shadow glides below

Always smile.
Especially when you don't feel like it
because
that's
when you need it
the most.

What was, is now gone.
              Begin again, start anew.
The canvas is blank.

That sudden feeling when....
.... something goes wrong.

The pit of your stomach....
.... drops to your feet.

Your chest tightens in knots....
.... The heart skips a beat, and then another.

Breathing is, well....
.... stop holding your breath!

Yea, you know that feeling....

While existing behind the bars of hate, fright, and constraint,
living mindfully amidst the chaos.

Lying beside me
Trusting soul, content, carefree
Bonded, one family

Seen from ground below
Under flower's downward gaze
Hidden smile grows
