Creative Bootcamp: Day Six - Fluid

I struggled with the prompt for day six.  As posted previously, some stuff was being stirred up and I needed some time to think and process.  Plus, much of what was on my mind was the antithesis of "Fluid."  Every day feels like a struggle, a fight, and for many good reasons - its all worth fighting for.  Those moments of fluidity feel far and few between.  For a brief moment today, I got close to that feeling of being in sync with myself and the environment.   And for, my alternate form of art, I chose poetry.  So here goes:

my lungs scream in pain
I breathe fire
and then cough
bringing forth the tar
from ten years ago
and wheeze nightmares of
cancer


I try again
concentrating on my breath
in through my nose
and out through my mouth
my body hurtles forward
cautiously finding and losing
rhythm


for brief moments
i am music
in; out, out
my feet crunching
a treble bass
while the mist cools my body
and breath


whole minutes
I am carried
by the sound of me
believing
