one deep breath haiku: 3 haikus about breathing

it amazes me
that I can get so crazy
I forget to breathe

forgetting to breathe
should set off a wild alarm
but we're used to it

sink down deep inside
clouds of thoughts drift past my eyes
as the breath breathes me

It's so true, isn't it- how we catch ourselves NOT breathing!
The breath breathes me- just beautiful...

I'm fascinated by the apparently automatic instinct to breath, which sometimes seems to fail us. Great!

Beautiful, especially the last part!

Oh, yes, sometimes I think I'm hungry for food and all I really need is to breathe deeply. :-)

I'm always catching myself holding my breath ;) Wonderful!

Sort of like the tail wagging the dog--suddenly we must "remember" to breathe
