Yes! That’s a love note to yourself if ever I read one. Perfect.
Enjoyed this write (even if a bit depressing) thanks for hosting, De! 💗
Great poem Tricia. Seems that is all we can do on these hot summer days!
Yes, I’m ready for fall weather, starting to see pumpkin spice in the stores, can’t be too far off! 💓
Well you gave yourself wise advice!!
Yes, at times I take it, thanks, Bev!
Intricate wordplay. Don’t be too sure you have no power. When intention (e.g. the message in a bottle) is thrown into the universe things can happen…
Thanks, Lisa! I do believe we all have more power than we know. I just joined a meditation group for 21 days and I think the concentration on the breathing partially inspired this! 😅
Aha!
Wow! This is amazing, Tricia. Love the last two lines especially. 🙂
Thanks, Lucy! 💗
I really enjoyed reading this poem. Short but packs a punch. Nicely done.
Thanks for reading, I appreciate your comment! 💓
I’d consider mySelf lucky if I found a message in a bottle, even if all it did was to remind me to breathe.
Breath is more than half the battle…
Yes! Breathing is on my to-do list, thanks, Ron! 💓
But your words are magical!
Thanks so much, Vandana! I aim to cast a spell! ✨
a calming a reassuring one, Tricia. thank you.
Appreciate your feedback! 💗
I beg to differ! These words certainly have magic in them 🙂
Thanks, Ingrid! 🥰
This is a perfect little gem of a poem, Tricia. A love-note to oneself!
Yes! Thanks, Merril! 💓
You’re welcome! 💙
I dunno, Tricia… I think your poetry hits all of the right notes – at least as far as I am concerned.

I appreciate your comment, David! 🥰
Inside a bottle. So nicely written. Good one ☝️
Pleased you enjoyed this! 💓
This is delightful, Tricia…..
Thanks so much, Helen! 💓
I enjoyed your poem, Tricia. (Deep sigh) 🙂
Thank you so much, Bill! 💗
You are welcome.
Tricia,
So lovely! Made me think of Faith Hill’s “Breathe.”

A great song! I should go listen again, thanks Dora! 💕
Sometimes the only way to get through is to make sure we can go on… love the dabbling in alchemy
Thanks! I think it’s also about learning we need to focus on ourselves more than others when it comes to healing! 💗
Ooh this is sooo soothing 💝💝 just like waves that lap on the shore 🙂 Gorgeous work, Tricia!!
Thanks, Sanaa, the rhythm of waves and breathing are so similar! 🌊
Charming. I like the wistfulness, the fatigue that permeates throughout that seems nicely entwined with the ideas of a deep sea and the reminder to oneself to breathe. Excellent, excellent.
I appreciate your thoughtful feedback! 💓
The truth is, caught in the humdrum of living, we forget to breathe. Beautifully expressed. 💞
Thanks so much, Punam! 💓
My pleasure, Tricia. 😊
