Breathing slowly
As calming music plays
Remembering to breathe
In moments of crisis
In a world full
Of chaos and evil
Amongst the good
The universe is quiet
Watching humans
Cope and question
Life's meaning
How to make change
Without war
Wanting to stop
The screaming
In the silence
Needing to feel hope
Amid a lingering fear
We wish was never there
Dreaming a dream
That feels as real
As jumping to touch
A single star blinded
By the sun at daybreak
Breathing slowly
Inhale exhale
↟↟↟
The chains we hold
Fall apart while
Falling together
We want change
We need freedom
To be reminded
To stick together
In sad times
Against violence
To find sanity
With the good
Breathing steadily
With still hands
Knowing the difference
Between celebrating
Fireworks and
Destructive terror
Finding kindness
Amongst strangers
Without questioning
Their motives
Feeling safe in
This beautiful world
Not letting hate
Control our fears
