Last Breath

Poetry has the power to move and change us. Taking time daily to unwind and listen allows us to let go of the stress and the anxieties that we carry. The following poem is reflective and hopefully inspiring.

Transcript

In the midst of my hurry I did not notice the sunlight,

The glistening,

The breeze,

The flower.

In my hurry I did not notice love's sweet gaze,

Its gentleness.

In my hurry I did not notice the days had turned to years.

I did not notice that youth had turned to age,

And age looked at youth with envy.

I did not notice that the world had changed,

And I did not notice as I did not pause.

And in my hurry a lifetime of moments had come to an end.

Thankfully,

Death did not hurry.

It lent a pause so that I could enjoy that last breath.

And in that breath,

And in that moment,

I experienced a lifetime.

And the pause and the breath flooded me,

Surrounded me with love.
