A Return to Silence

Poetry for the Soul

Photo by Jonathan Borba

The sensation 
Of sadness descends
Like fog around me
For a moment 
Obscuring my view
And the warmth of the sun.

I feel the fogginess
The heaviness 
Of what appears
To be the end of hope.

I choose to pause
To to breathe
Intentionally
Deeply
Waiting for the breeze
Of my breath 
To dissipate
The density
And find silence
In myself again
