We meet on a Monday & take it from there
To tackle our problems, our issues we share
We each choose a number between one & ten
To describe our mood, how we’re feeling just then.
Rodney, ever cheerful, he runs the class
Is an upstanding Christian, spends lunchtimes at mass
He runs through the numbers compared to last week
We meditate together & succumb to the deep.
With a TedTalk to follow Angel Positive Sound
Bevy Smith features with her story to expound
Telling how to discover our authentic selves
With a fairytale ending like The Shoemaker & His Elves.
Bevy rattles on as I keep on rhyming
Now she’s concluding with impeccable timing
We’ve had our tea break & enjoyed a smoke
Tea ends on a high note with a laugh & a joke.
Some breathwork is next, box breathing it is
Deep breathing relaxes me, settles my fizz
We’re following a schedule, running behind time
That’s not a problem, I work it into rhyme.
Inhaling for a count of four, then holding for the same
Letting it out slowly, for four again
Holding that exhale, counting down
Four, three, two, one & inhaling, we’re box breathing now.
A review of the class as afternoon ends
Is filled out by all through a rose tinted lens
Onwards & upwards for another week
A fine afternoon with memories to keep!
