Savor Tender Moments
My eyes cast shadows

nestled in under my arm.
Your branches reach
far and wide.
Time stands still
and feels like an eternity,
as we unite and take flight…….
I would be so pleased if you would continue to read my poem here

Cindy, nicely done. By the way, I wanted to share with you that in addition to the vaccines and booster shot, my ability to stave off the effects of COVID after a couple of days was also due to Yoga breathing I do daily over the last six years. I breathe so much better now (and snore less), focus on breathing in and out of my nose as I exercise. My COVID symptoms were more around a sore throat and some head congestion and headaches. Yet, I still did my exercises every morning. I thought I would share this with my favorite Yogi. Keith
Thank you so much Keith and this is truly a wonderful testimonial to the importance of breathing and yoga in general. It is you that put the work in and ge the credit which is admirable. Glad it was a short lived reaction. Mine is due next week.. i may wait another week.. we’ll see. 💖💖
Thanks and best wishes. My wife and other son got their boosters this past week. I stayed in quarantine a few extra days to make sure they had. As for the breathing, as a former high school athlete, I was taught to breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. In yoga, since the exertion is more holds and stretches, I breath in and out through my nose. That has helped immensely on more natural breathing when I sleep and am not exercising. I have wondered if this is why some heavier former athletes may have more sleep apnea problems.
You’re so welcome Keith! Good for you. I’m a bit under the weather and supposed to get boosted Mon but I think I’ll switch it. Breathing truly expands the lungs and feeds cells etc so it’s entirely possible!❤️💕
I love a compelling short poem and yours is so beautifully visual, where each picture helps further the emotive impact! Congratulations on becoming a monthly contributor too; I cannot wait to read your future creations.
Oh thank you so much Jaya! I truly appreciate your insight and reflections on my piece. That’s truly helpful. Thanks you so much for your wishes as well. I am looking forward to it and so happy you are looking forward to it as well!
