Acknowledge the balance,
        absorb the light.
         Take this day,
   then receive the darkness.
     Breathe.
   Exhale the difficulties that
     have been haunting you
         of late.
                     Inhale
           a fresh perspective.
Permit yourself the luxury
             of stillness.
Feel the clarity that comes
  from conscious thought.
