Life lived in breath’s rise and fall
how many times in the crawl
life lived without any walls
narrowed paths leading to a dead ended hall

listen a little
to get a clear picture
laugh a little
so as not to get way to caught up in the subject matter
donβt worry about crying
or the lack of being able to catch your breath
in the moments of elation, and the moments of treacherous sorrow
π π π
rise up to swallow the fragrance of flowers
springs colors for more than an hour
reaching the skies in a stretch for tomorrow
32 things that i wish to borrow
they are from you and intimately posed in questions not hollow

so to the rise and fall
making us wish we ran out of breath more often
making us wish we had been right at the brink of passing out again
making us wish β and making us go toward the light and the dark with an open mind
π π π
can we hear anotherβs breath
can we see anotherβs life rise and fall
can we idly stand by in the visionary spaces of our cataclysmic reactions not yet stated
can we
π π π
as a leaf tumbles down from atop a 4th story height of a tree still kissing the skies smiling sun
finding the inner belly laughter in abdominal tightening laughter as one squirms upon the floor
and in the presence of ironies that are pleasant to behold because one thought hope closed all the doors
and the beach front property that you found yourself on without a notice of going forward
π π π
life lived in the hell and the chasing of joy
heard that breath rise and fall again for the entry of the next capture
aligned with stars for the sake of life worth rapture
dug in the hole where it was digging digging digging for gold
and everything else of that same kind of value
π π π
it was the words that were spoken
it was the soul feeling of truth not broken
it was the safekeeping of time well spent
it was life lived in breaths rise and fall
