breath enters softly,
filling the quiet space
where the body listens
before the mind speaks.

her hand rests upon her chest,
eyes gently closed,
as warmth spreads
with every slow inhale.

light drifts through paper screens,
dust floats and settles,
and time adjusts itself
to her rhythm.

“肺” speaks of breathing —
the invisible motion
that sustains life
moment by moment.

watercolor captures
the calm of steady air,
where tension loosens,
and presence returns.

perhaps to live fully
begins with this —
noticing the breath,
and letting it carry us.
