Corroboration: Meeting the Breath

Migraine brings
Too many images,
Too much going on,
All at once;
Can’t focus,

Resorted to
Settling into
One object:
Sensations
Of the breathing,

From top to bottom;
Completely in,
And all the way out,
Centred in the whole abdomen,

Attention anchored,
Letting all other
Sensations go,
Was the only method
That stabilized this mind;

Resting on a single
Set of processes,
Feeling the pleasant
Of the rippling muscles,

Pulling in the air
And releasing it;
Such joy in this simple motion;
How incredible!

Can’t imagine
Anyplace else
I’d rather be
Than with this,
As it is,
Right here
Right now.
