Breathing In

A poem about the healing and calming ebb and flow of the sea

Breathing In - A Poem by Sue Cartwright, Spiral Leaf


Fall into the sea's hypnotic rhythm;

Ripples in the distance, mesmerising;

Gentle swells of waves rolling in;

Breathing deeply in and breathing out again.


The ocean spills into crescent moons;

On a smooth canvas of sand and shells;

Before pulling away with a gentle sigh,

Back into the sea again.


Feel the tonic of salty air within;

The vital energy of sea, air, light and wind;

At one with nature where it all begins and ends;

Breathing deeply in and breathing out again.
