Straight to the Heart

have you ever breathed deep
expanding your belly
but focusing on your heart?

to the place where I sense a pain,
then a fear, an internal tension
living amongst openness
and expansion

where i’d have to face a series of unknowns
and possibly spend a good deal of time

wandering,

or worse yet: staying still

and only nothing, or hardship
would follow.

have you ever started breathing
into your heart?
while writing words
that named your fears

(then posted it on the internet because you’re a blogger)
