Breathless sighs, consume my peace,
panic steals all of my ease.
My own mind gives me advice,
serene thoughts may spark insight.
“Take a breath”, the voices said,
erasing my deep distress.
“But what for?”, I ask myself.
“To let go and gain control.”
Only air, nothing quite there,
treatment for all my despair.
Inhaling is all I need,
Exhaling my deepest grief.
Finally, the perfect cure,
comforting what feels unsure.
“Stop and breathe to clear bad days,
hope is just a breath away.”

Breathing is a such powerful tool for calming ourselves. It can ramp up or soothe our nervous system and we can choose it to override a system that feels out of control, I love the way you linked it to hope because to continue to breathe is sometimes our choice and hope makes it for us.
“Breathless sighs, consume my peace,
panic steals all of my ease.”
