Release and Breathe

Release and Breathe
Release.
Release,
with each exhale,
reach the crystalline rose beds
that cleanse your thoughts with beauty.
Release,
with each inhale,
the tightness of your chest
that prevents you from being whole.
Release,
with each exhale,
the roughness of your speech
that finds itself trapped in regret.
Release,
with each inhale,
the tension built-up by those unsolved
years that left a scar in your perception.
Release
and with each exhale find a bit of yourself,
scattered along the shoreline of your breath.
Release
and as you inhale retrieve those bits lost
beyond yourself, being beyond confinements.
Release,
inhale,
exhale,
release
to find the temple that lies
buried beneath your muffled pain,
old regrets, and unfulfilled sunsets.
Release to unveil the temple
that holds the answer to your most intriguing questions,
those you chose to forget in the chase,
the unobtainable carrot, the parrot
that carries you away with its idle chitchat
from the truth that burns inside your sunken temple.
Release,
inhale,
exhale,
release to uncover the truth
that you silently hunger
by sinking into the glistening horizon
until your path becomes upholstered
by a celestial-blue glow.
Release caringly,
care as you let your light free
from the weight of all those years
entrapped under a blind faith.
Release,
inhale,
exhale,
release to find your temple,
the temple of truth, always within,
waiting to be shared as you
