"Breathe..."

"Breathe..."

...and I wanted to find you,
if but for a minute,
a second... a heartbeat
a moment's blink...

an eternity's gaze.

I guess that says it all
doesn't it?
The wanting - to find
another
for even an instant.

We can't always have...
but god we CAN hope,
and just maybe -

maybe find
the need to remember how to breathe
- in our lives.

[J Todd Underhill]

Nice! I hope feel free means I can cover this at my open mic giving full credit of course... there is someone I know who really needs to hear this poem.

she is left

Finding another...that other...is like breathing, eh? You hold your breath until the definitive moment...

[Wendy Seames Garner]

There is always hope, but remembering to stop and breathe - that's a hard one.

[asdarkeyesclose]

stop, take a deep breath, relax...so easy to forget the basics! fantastic.

You deliver an excellent start to the week, Chris.
Simple, basic, saying it all in very few words.
Another privilege to read.
