Fresh Air

Fresh Air

A Poem by Barbara R Deraoui

After feeling pulled underwater 

For some time 


I can breathe 


After feeling uncomfortable 


I can breathe


My shackles have been released 


I can breathe 


I can move without effort 


I can breathe 


My troubles have passed 

They are behind me 

The sun is out 

No more stormy days

I feel peace and harmony 


I can breathe 


Like a whale or dolphin 

Swimming to the surface 

For air

Leaping into the air

Exhaling strongly 

Once again I can breathe



Breathe
