Constructive: Pain Remedy

Low back pain
Has returned,
Distressing and unpleasant,
What a nasty sting!

The weather
Is the culprit
Once again,
As the humidity rises;

Breathing in
Breathing out
On the count of ten
Is my reply,

As being with breathing
Is less difficult
Than inhabiting
This acute pain in my side;

In the moment I abide,
Breath in the foreground,
All else in the background,
Yet my attention includes everything,

Broadly viewed
The entirety is here,
Reducing fear
And producing concentration,

The minutes passing by
In relative ease,
Though the pain increases
The suffering diminishes.

The world seen as a whole
Brings stability,
Like a rock I sit,
Holding my position,
Facing each passing second.
