The Rabbit Hole

Breath in
Take this all in
A deep breath of air,
Now hold it there
In your lungs

Can you hold your breath till this is over?
Do I have your attention
If not then I'm losing my touch
While you read this close your eyes
Imagine anything you want to.

What did you see
When you had your eyes closed?
Was it something that made you smile
A happy cherished memory
Or was it one that broke your heart
Made you angry or sad?

Are you still holding your breath?
No cheating now, it wouldn't be fair
One last thing before I let you go
Have I confused you, made you wonder
What do you feel as my words are ending.

Breath out,
Let it all seep out
Start breathing again
Fill your lungs full
Breath in, breathe out
Do you feel better?
