Processes

It’s OK to go down

all the way to the bottom

of your breath

It’s OK to stay there

for awhile

before the impulse

of the next inhale

These things move naturally —

There is a curve for turning

before the breath rises

and another one

up at the top

No need to panic —

You are not crashing

You will not fall too deep

and not be able

to come out

These systems have

their safe processes

They hold you sure and steady

and will turn you faithfully

when you are ready.
