( votes)Meditation Meltdown
written by: Genie Nakano
@genieyogini
melting down
the yellow chakra
I care
less and less
for what’s out there
just want to
touch those states of bliss
let them drip
through my fingers
then move on to…
right now
breathing
in and out
pausing
on the moment
drop the jaw
lift the chin
inner
smile
smiles
catch me
as I
circle the sun
Iridescence
free falls
