Liquid Poetry: Serenity

February 27, 2024 / 1 Comment

Slow down, pause in thought 
Take a gentle step back
Close your eyes, clear of stress
Just breathe, enjoy the stillness 

Ponder in quiet content
Nothing is there to worry 
Open your essence, be patient 
Just breathe, soak in the moment 

Never live life fast
Move with steady traction
Stay grounded, take time
Just breathe, fulfill the heart 

Tension is bad for the soul
Ease of mind lends a calm spirit 
Discard the clutter, think deeply
Just breathe, refresh your mind 

Carry a pallet of inner peace
A beautiful token to have
Sustain happiness, be grateful 
Just breathe, nourish the gifts

Do not ever lose the reins
Let kind emotions flow 
There is so much to love
Just breathe, let everything be

Momentous

Born in Saigon, Vietnam, I arrived in America at seven years old as a war refugee in 1975. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, happily married with two grown children, and reside in Colorado. A horrific injury in 2014 forever changed my life, leaving me an incomplete quadriplegic. Despite facing this unexpected journey, living in the moment remains fruitful, joyous, and appreciative. To be human is to show kindness to one another. Let go of your fears, prejudices, and desires and be alive in every waking moment to cherish the gravity of life and the gifts it has bestowed upon us. Turn and look at the person to your left, right, and all around, and project your inner being to be good to yourself and everyone. We are all born from the same fabric, so surround each other with unconditional love, support, and warmth in your hearts. Our time on Earth is precious and should be embraced with immense gratitude.
