Last weekend I was out on a windy walk when I experienced a whoosh of gratitude blow over me! Being able to breathe in fresh air was a luxury my brilliant Dad cherished right up until his passing and I am so inspired by his thankful heart. Today I am sharing a written and filmed version of the poem I wrote about this. If you enjoy live recitals do add me on Instagram as I regularly read my poems aloud #coachingcreatively.
An Air of Awe
The air is fresh and nourishing
Upon it we exist
A slow inhale, I’m flourishing
And gratitude is bliss
With each breath in new life begins
Each moment is a bonus
I feel the breeze upon my skin
And honour nature’s slowness
When you were slowly perishing
You walked in rain and mist
Proclaiming the air nourishing
Your thankfulness persists
