on meditation

by Sarah Steele

breathe in

              gather mental chaos

breathe out

              release swirling thoughts

breathe in

              consider a sacred line

breathe out

              soak in its truth

breathe in

              and know that God

breathe out

              is here with you

breathe in

              you need nothing more

breathe out

Sarah Steele is a Christ-follower, wife to James, and mom to four lively redheads. Poetry has captured her heart since the death of her grandmother in early childhood, helping her to work feelings into written pictures. As a wordy extrovert, she finds its genre particularly useful in learning to be succinct. She writes between homeschooling, watercoloring, and spending time outside with all the people.
