The Things You Cannot See

Darkness,

I’m sitting inside a room without a view,

Air-Conditioning,

I sense my face being cooled,

Breathe,

Oxygen fills my lungs through my nose,

Exhalation,

Carbon dioxide escapes my mouth,

Mindfulness,

My naked feet feel the warm carpet,

Anxiety,

Accepting my life’s uncertainties,

Discipline,

Deciding I control my thoughts,

Hope,

My faith that things will all work out for the better,

Love,

A gentle whisper that my life matters,
