Breathe... now....(Etheree Poem, Inverted)

 I discovered this new form and simply had to write it: the Etheree. This poem is an "inversion" in that the first half of the poem is an upside down etheree set on the head of the bottom part of the poem, which is standard etheree format. Enjoy - breathe - enjoy and breathe. Happy Monday!

Shoulders lift so high they look like earrings
"Release their tension, Kimosabe"
So I do and they lie, resting
atop the rest of me, still
breath meets breath unfolding
silence slices through
release let go
Yes, you know
More than
was
thought
before
your mind sought
"the" secret, sole
"the" one only
Rightness in plenty
Receive what is given
Open arms, when pulse meets breath
Smile wellspring celebration is
happening now, is happening now
Shoulders release, silence slices: breathe... now.
