Muffled Sounds 12/23/2022

Sitting mindfully
In a relaxed position
Imagine wearing
Cozy ear muffs
While focusing on
Breathing deeply.

Within the silence
Only hear
Muffled heartbeats
As other daily
Sounds have softened.

Ready to welcome in
The presence
Of stillness
Into this healing space
Being creating.

Not afraid
Any longer
To face my emotions
For they are now
Considered good friends
Of mine.

For each emotion
Experienced
Is unique and
Serves a purpose
Helping me to
Identify
What’s really
Going on in life

For I am human
And attracted to
Negativity and drama
But my soulful side
Thrives in peace
And love inside.

So each day
I must align
With my heart and soul
While harmonizing
The emotions
I am learning about
Today.
