Breathe, My Dearest

TITLE: "Breathe, My Dearest"

AUTHOR: Samridhi

ARTIST: Flavija P.

It is a famous line,

inhale the future, exhale the past.

Let me tell you this mantra of mine.

Let me recite to you,

a new year's resolution to keep in mind.

Inhale the divine purity,

exhale all insecurities.

Inhale the bliss of life,

exhale the agony of death.

Inhale a compassionate spirit,

exhale the thorns of cynicism.

Inhale the cultivation of optimism,

exhale the growth of pessimism.

Inhale the desire of knowledge,

exhale the bitterness of judgment.

Inhale the duality of joy and sorrow,

because life without either is an uncertain tomorrow.
