I Breathe Out

I Breathe Out

 

I breathe out, I breathe in.

Addressing the grey ribbon unfolding.

One foot, then the next.                                    

The environment envelopes me

As the curtain opens

And I am lost in its messages.

Light contact with humanity, I ask

“Why are they here?”

Or perhaps, no meeting while

Protected inside their covering.

I’m invited by my own thoughts.

The path meets me where I am

And leads my direction

Or I meet the trail where it is

And explore new senses.

I breathe in, I breathe out.

Leaving the ribbon’s gentle turns,

Waiting for my return another day.
